When I was in college my summer job was driving a lift truck for a dairy. I dropped a pallet of milk once, but nothing like than. Still, I can sympathize.

The first job I had, besides my paper route, was working at Anderson's Lumberyard in Proctor Minn. It's a suburb of Duluth.

A very interesting story made short, I was dating his daughter and he wanted to keep an aye on me. He taught me to drive the fork lift. I was 16 at the time, can you imagine the trouble a business would get in letting a 16 year old driving a forklift today?

After I broke up with his daughter I was fired like a month later. To this day I am convinced he kept me on until he knew his daughter was not pregnant, because he knew what she was like. As I said that is the only reason he hired me in the first place, he wanted to keep me real close just in case.

He was a big Swede, and he had us all work a half a day on Sundays. Thing is, he liked his whiskey, and I learned that I too liked it. Something that would take me almost 30 years to get under control.
