When I finished high school in 1957, I didn't know what a resume was. Most companies around here,you just filled out a job application,and they would talk to you and decide if you were acceptable. Two weeks after finishing school, I was hired third shift,(11:00 PM to 7:00 AM) by a cotton mill, (made denim cloth). I worked there for almost a year before being hired by Sears Mail Order plant in Greensboro,NC. Worked shipping and receiving seven years, transferred to the "small engine shop" and repaired lawn and garden equipment for next 22 years.The shop was phased out and worked for three years inspecting returned goods. I took an early retirement offer about three years before they closed the plant.Drew unemployment for a while. then drove an F-700 flatbed dump for a commercial drywall company for a year, was laid off due to a slump in business, few more months of unemployment, then was hired behind the parts counter at the local Ford dealer where I eventually made assistant parts manager. Seven years and a new owner later, I moved to another Ford dealer as parts manager. Couldn't do anything to please that bunch,so at the age of 64, I retired one Friday afternoon about three o'clock. After having a "serious discussion" with one of the bosses, (the business was run by three family members and each one thought they were THE BOSS") I simply returned to my office stuffed a few personal things in a sack and left without saying a word. Next morning I dropped off my uniforms in the office and threw fifty cents on the girls (family member) desk and said four words, "Mail me my check." I have been trying to catch up on all that stuff around the house ever since!

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
