Michael's Story
I live in the Plainfield, Illinois ( Lockport mailing address) on a small lake ( I love to fish ). I am married with 4 daughters, 2 stepdaughters, and two step sons. I have 4 granddaughters and 2 grandsons. I have spent my life working in retail grocery type jobs. I started work for Tops Supermarket, across the street from Thornridge High school, the day I turned 16. I worked in the produce dept., grocery dept. and finally in the meat dept. before Tops Supermarkets closing in 1972. I then went to work for a Grocery Company chain, called Eagle Country Markets. I worked for them 27 years, working as the meat dept. mgr. opening various new stores in the Illinois and Indiana area. My last 10 years working with them, I was their meat supervisor specialist for District 2 of 6 districts. I left them after 27 years, when a major Grocery Chain in Chicago, asked me if I woiuld come to work for them as their Meat Director and Buyer for all...Expand for more
their stores in Chicago. I liked the job, but the drive in and out of Chicago each day was just too much for me. While I was working for them, I was approached by a company that had an appointment with me to show me their products. They asked me if I would ever consider changing jobs and working for them. I agreed to an interview. I told them what it would take to have me switch jobs. To my amazement, they accepted without a blink of an eye. Wish I would have asked for more! I went to work for them. It was a major, national full line grocery distribution center where I work as their meat specialist and meat buyer until I retired at age 61. Life has been very good for me and my health at this point is great. I pray it continues. I would love to hear from any of you out there. You might remember me more from my nickname in high school, which was WEAK. I drove a blue, muscle car, a 4 speed, 1966, Ford Fairlane with a 390 engine.
