He told me that they make about $20, which was a
fortune at the time.


Anyone in NYC with $20 cash was a millionaire in 1930.



I think that's how they felt. They hired a long-time friend/mechanic almost
immediately. Then, all three of them sat there for several more months
before they got another job. They ended up getting some relief from the Navy
Dept., I believe when lend/lease started up, but I have no way to check at
this point, and eventually became one of the "essential industries" during
WWII, thus avoiding service.
