I worked at bethleham burns harbor in 69. Worked there a few years, then went part time, weekends only, to finish up my college. I was single and they needed single men to do the weekends. I was the only person there plus my helper. Back then minimun wage was $1/hr. I made $4.44/hr, top wage, as a repairman, not a helper. Got a bonus for working weekends. I could make more on a weekend turn than I could make in Terre Haute working 40 hours at $1/hr. Gas was cheap and you could drive 75 without getting a ticket.

My dad, 2 brothers, my brother-in-law, his dad and myself all were in the heating and air business at one time. Brother-in-law is running a sucessful business in northern indiana. All the rest, except for me is dead. George
