I dunno. Ya just picture a guy with the FR name dp0622...

I picture a guy I worked for long ago.
Very large Played football for Philadelphia in the 1930s.
Very Italian and a real gentleman, with a great sense of humor. Oh, he could laugh!

One day I said, Joe with all the money you made playing football why are you still working? (at age 67)

Big DEEP laugh and he says Grunt, Grunt, Grunt let me tell you...
He said not only did they not always get paid and they were to receive train fare to the next game, maybe. Even if they were paid they would HITCHHIKE to the next game!

Not exactly big bucks!

He was a joy to work for.
