I worked at Cat in Joliet back in ‘53. Swept floors mostly while learning how to use a CandC and all the other machines. Hones, lathes, radial drills, etc. Great times. Was greatful for the experience.
In my view, when I’m standing on my hill looking out at all that was built, it’s not the $$$ in my bank account I’m proud of but rather what’s truly worthwhile. All the families I helped by providing decent paying jobs and in return they helped me build the most productive cog factory in the world. That to me is wealth.
