Before teaching, what were some of the jobs you had? Do any stories stand out and any entrepreneurial aspirations in there? Well, I worked first at high school with Grace and some of my friends, and this was during the war, World War II. It used to be a button factory, but because the war came on, they changed and they made little souvenirs. So with your cursive writing, you would put greetings from Florida and write that in, and we would get, I think it was 30 cents an hour, but we were just part-time workers after school, but sometimes we would meet the permanent workers, and they said they got 40 cents an hour. So I said to them, "Well, that's not fair." I said, "You should be getting..." I mean, that was nerve-y of me. I'm 17 telling them, and I kept saying it. I said, "You should get more money." Well, one day, Bernie, the owner, calls me in, and he said, "What's this?" You know, so he fired me. So that had taken a long time. And when I came home, my mother, my father, Katie, I'm not sure if Tony was there. No, Tony was in the Army waiting for me. They thought something had happened. And I don't think they even knew where the address was. So that was that, and then my friends all quit and so it's out. That's good. That's a good one. And then I also worked when I was in college. They made some kind of roles for the airplanes. There was a machine, had a worker machine. Roles like... Must have been roles for their computer, not computers because they didn't and have them for whatever they recorded on an airplane. - Oh, okay, interesting.
