Re: Getting Old---Do You Remember-----


Trikedad, I started in '69 workin' underground for an outfit from Calif. called United Communications, the work was in Fla. Had to get away from that, didn't like diggin'. Went to work later for Harrison-Wright outta N.C. Stayed 'till they lost the Master contract for So. Fla. Went to work for Church & Tower Corp. (now known as Mastec) in '71. Damn, if I don't end up workin' for the same out fit in Missouri some 30 years later!! I knew the CEO's (Mastec) Father! Found out while sittin' in on one of those pep talks about E-Business that Mastec was promoting at the time. Kicked my butt. Still hate diggin', but I can climb, and do on occasion now. Hang in there!!

You feel old-- I was borne before the Korean War, Guess by your standards I should be a fossil by now. Well this old fossil can get up and down his share of poles in a day, and pull the lasher every other span. I do however end up a little grumpy by the end of the day!! (thumbup)(snipper)
