When I graduated out of school in 1966 and started trades school and I started working at an aluminum foundry it was a hot place to work in the summer months. Wasn�t long after Oh Uncle Sam nailed me (drafted) in 68. ETS 1970. Went back to my old job at the foundry put almost 10 years there quit as they due was thinking of getting a union in and owner threaten to closing the doors.

It was never racking, as it was H if you do and H If you don�t Situation.
