Started my education at Lake County Joint Vocational School[Ohio]..Class of 1970..Found a job on the grease rack at Village Dodge after graduation...Ended up as a flat rate mechanic there....Lost my butt fixing wind whistles , water leaks and rattles and squeaks..[Once found a STP can inside a front tire of a new Dart Swinger , Pepsi bottle inside a rocker panel on another}..Got tired of making peanuts for wage..Went to Deere dealership in '75 and got smitten with equipment..Opened my own shop in '82 when dealer closed..Got tired of "Doin' it all"..Went to Mahnen Machinery[Deere] in '87 after John Mahnen inquired about all my equipment..He ended buying it all provided I came with it..Ended up a working service mgr.at the Painesville store.. More responsibility/same money..So I bounced around working for construction companies and selling FNH tractors , Concord Road Equipment selling truck equipment..Now gonna retire in 4 more years from Chardon Township Road Dept. as mechanic/roadman/snowplower....And still able to do some sidework [or 'till the knees give out]....That's my story and I'm stickin' to it..
