Summer jobs. Speaking of things built, about 35 years ago, I was in NYC
with a DC client, attending a meeting. The guy was president of an
international union. We had some time to kill, and he insisted on taking
me to the Empire State Building. Big secret. We got to one of the middle
floors, went to a utility closet, he opened it, and there, chiseled into
a bit of construction stone, was his first initial and last name, and the
date. Yep, *he* worked on building the Empire State Building.

Can you imagine the lifelong sense of accomplishment...seeing that
building, knowing you worked on it...wow!



I guess! Is the Empire State Building back to it's status as the tallest
building in New York?



For the moment.
