returning to my job, and as was the norm at that time was ridiculed and hated for having participated in the war..
I have held a variety of jobs over the years. Dept Mgr for ladies wear at Kmart, bartender at several bars in Manitowoc and Green Bay, pizza crust workr, packaging machine operator at Anchor Foods in Appleton and finally Product Service Associate at Lowes in Appleton. Most of the years have been good but there have been bad times also. I have gone thru years of deep depression, several years of homelessness because of a fire that destroyed my home and I lost everything. The past 8 years I've been retired and living in Oshkosh.
