Yes...Alaska Pipeline first laid pipe in 1975....I typed every Invoice for Caterpillar Equipment for it....:)

Folks in accounting always know the real story. Biggest contract ever, at the time?

P.S. 1975??!! Where do the years go?

It does fly, no?

1975.

I remember hanging out with some friends in high school. We were seniors. We all wore bell bottoms jeans, tied-dyed T-shirts and flannel plaid shirts. I had on Earth shoes.

It was late on a Saturday night in the Fall. We were talking about joining the Marines after we graduated. We had the TV on, and this weird show came on.

Saturday Night Live they called it. It was far out! These cats were funny... Soon after, we made watching this our thing. Outasight!

It was a full time job on an MTST typewriter...one of first programmable typewriters. ..biggest contract? I don’t know...it kept me very busy for awhile, though. And my accounting boss, and other guys got/had to haul equipment from Tukwila, Wa to Alaska one time to be able to travel over frozen tundra...and get equipment there in time to use. He had intetesting stories of the trip.
