Life Hello, Well after graduaton I went to work for Chrysler in the fall of 1971 and it was hard at first.I worked on the assembly line, and the schedules made it a seven day a week job. I had very little personal time and really lost track of most of my highschool friends. The nite life on the other hand was great. I really got into the Disco scene. The drinking age was 18 and we had Muscle Cars,not to mention The Sexual Revolution. What more could you ask for? I met Eva my future wife of 30+ years,in march of 72, a cute little gal from Central Square and she and I married a few years later. We had our first child in 1977 a girl ,and four years later my son was born. We bought a home in Cicero in 1977 and still reside there today.Both our children are single so no grandchildren are on the horizon.The nest is empty. I retired from Chrysler in July 2006 after 35 years at the plant. I became a jobsetter in 1981 and held that position for 25 years.I can honestly say I had the best job in the plant and I liked it.

I became a waiter and worked in housekeeping when I turned 18 years old.When the Gothem went out of business I went to work at Justs Sunoco Station.I really liked all my jobs and who knows maybe i'll try another. In 1991 I went on a hunting trip to Montana and fell in love with that state. I and my son have been back several times to hunt Elk and Mule deer. I plan on doing alot of trips out west, at least as long as my health holds out Update*** Well I found out being retired at 54 doesn't cut it .Just plain bored.So I went down to the end of the road and helped my friend rebuild his marina,I learned how to weld and work with heavy equiptment. It was hard work but we made a pretty good marina and we are proud of it. When that...Expand for more
