I was discharged from the USAF on June 30 1962... like many of my generation I planned on heading to California....
I stopped in WV to see my family. Mom asked me what I was going to do... I didn't have any plans at all.
I'd saved up a fair amount of money. The Air Force paid me $102 a month. My military job allowed me enough time to have a second job... I bartended at night... the tips were good... sometimes 5 cents on a beer after 7 PM when 14 oz glass of beer went up to 25 cents. ( The beer was only 15 cents during the day. A T-bone steak, baked potato, vegitable of the day, rolls, and a salad was $3.04.
Mom hadn't seen me but a couple of time in the previous 4 years... she asked me to put in for a job where my dad worked... FMC Inorganic Chemicals... that she'd heard that they were hiring.
I did... took a lot of tests and interviews... and dadgone if they didn't hire me. I was nuber 4 out od 21 hired. They sent us to school before we ever worked a day.... economics
It was a good bunch of guys... one of them was also single... we became great friends. Steve would also become highly skilled.
When we got to WV I gave him a call and asked for help with the campers air conditioner. I'd bought a new gasket but was afraid the A/C was too heavy for me, I wasn't even sure that I could get on the roof of the camper.... the new knee and other medical problems were cramping my style.
Steve would help.
