[QUOTE="Duncandl, post: 3965811, member: 4389"] My dad worked in a slaughterhouse, dug graves with his dad long enough to earn all the burial plots for his family, parents and siblings which is kind of weird but cool. He left home for the Navy in 1958, got out after 4 years and went to work for Boeing in Wichita but went back into the Navy and stayed until retirement in 1979. Couldn’t find a job upon retirement so he went to college with a family of 5 to feed working overnight at Shawnee Water Treatment Plant until completing school and getting hired at Tinker doing the same thing he did in the Navy, it was a rough stretch for our family as my mother never worked until times got really bad and she went to work for Newton Wall in Shawnee. My mother had a lot of difficulty as she was very “small town” and never really adjusted well on her own. As hard as life was for all of us we never knew it, we always had a clean house, clean clothes and something to eat. [/QUOTE]
