Biography Text
I worked part-time after school and some summers. My job was to inspect second quality elastic (ie. for underwear, etc.). It was hot summers. No air conditioning. One summer, I was the youngest employee and worked with many older workers. It was noisy due to the machinery and sometimes hot, yet one of the best jobs I ever had due to the camaraderie!
