Geeze....I had much fancier summer jobs than you did...cleaning out
boilers, loading trucks and freight cars, drinking beer.


I had the normal, teenaged type jobs.


Worked for a retired doctor and helped him build his own, private 9 hole
golf course.

Gas station pump jockey and general gofor.

Bus boy at Les Shaw's in New Haven.

Caddy at that private golf course on Pulaski highway, just north of New
Haven,

later, back in MA and while attending college:

Humping furniture for Bekin's Moving and Storage.

Final finish detailer at Boston Whaler (back when they were in Rockland,
MA)

Damn...you worked at Les Shaw's!
I seem to remember it was located on Whalley Avenue, near the Pond Lily
manufacturing plant. What I mostly remember about that particular area
was the Feast of the Assumption the Italian Catholic churches held each
year at the foot of the Merritt Parkway where it crossed Whalley.

Just a little way from there, as you went towards West Rock and the
tunnel, a longtime friend of my father's owned a truck farm, of all things.

Hey...I remember two farms in your neck of New Haven...Zeider's Egg Farm
and a turkey farm whose name I can't remember. I do remember Zeider's,
because I dated the farmer's daughter, Gail Zeider, for a while. She
went to Amity Regional... Hmmm. I dated a lot of girls from Amity. Nice
girls.
