He did not enter service as he had hearing problems, but was proud that he was foreman for a company that made transformers for the government.
He was 7 - 10 ran errands for Thorteson Electric, elevator operator gave him pints of whiskey as pay. He left school 14 & worked for man Thorteson Electric who was wealthy & very nice, put him in charge of important things & personal because he trusted him.
