You spend any time at Piney Point? I took a few courses there.


No. I was a grunt in the fireroom. Fireman/Watertender.
Not officer or even deck material. Color deficiency kept
me from ever becoming a gentleman, even if that was possible.
BTW, I was Steelworker, Autoworker, Seafarer, Autoworker,
Teamster in that order.
Might have been Machinist somewhere in there too.
Thought I'd mention that since Jim brought up unions.
