Experience: I started working at age 13 in 1959, for the Silverton Retirement Home) getting 75 cents an hour. My pay went toward my room and board. I cleaned the flower beds, mowed the lawn, shaved the old men and did some painting. In 1960 and 1961 I attended Laurelwood Academy where I worked to payoff my Room and board and my tuition. First job there was as a janitor, cleaning mopping, waxing and buffing hallways. I also cleaned the bathrooms. Next was the farm where I picked apples, pears, walnuts, filberts etc. I transferred to the Dairy where I cleaned stalls and the barn, (shoveled manure and spread lime) loaded the honey wagon and drove it to the fields and spread it.Mainly I developed my work ethic. My dad taught me to follow through with what I started, and that I could accomplish what I wanted if I worked long enough and hard enough and did not give up.When I turned 16, (April of 1960) I started working at Laurelcraft Industries, (A furniture factory) making $1.25 an hour. I worked on a line-rip, (off-loading the wood pieces and stacking them by shade on a cart). I also worked on the glue machine, (feeding and offloading), the planer (where excess glue was removed) and the sander machine. I worked there the remainder of my freshman year and again in my junior and senior year, and graduated in 1964.That summer I went to Walla Walla College where I started work in the Book Bindery again at $1.25 an hour, packing books and acting as shipping clerk. I packed books at an $6.00 an hour rate and got a 6 cent raise to $1.31 an hour. I also worked as a janitor cleaning the classrooms at night.In the summer of 65 I worked on a demolition crew tearing down houses, for a man named Eugene Alvacado (he had boxed under the name of Geno Blino). I started selling the scrap material. (boards, 2X4s, bricks and giving him the money. I started at $1.50 an hour. In my 2nd week, on Wednesday, he gave me a raise to $1.65, on Thursday to $1.85 and on Friday to $2.00 an hour.I had signed up for some training through the manpower training act and started that the school the following week.. Upon completion, I started as a Class C draftsman on the 737 for Boeing. I drew seating plans and worked with one engineer on the water system for the 737. He would give me the change orders and I would draw them up and send them down to mock-up. We would then go down to look at the changes and then make any adjustments.In Jan of 1966 I was drafted. I had tried to join earlier but was turned down because of a cyst on my tailbone. They drafted me under an earlier physical before I developed the cyst.I didnt want to be a grunt, so I signed up for OCS (Officer Candidate school). Basic training was at Ft Leonard Wood Missouri and AIT (Advanced Individual Training) was OCS Prep at Fort Sill, where I learned to be a Forward Observer, including the math involved. In OCS the 1st 13 weeks was all infantry training where I learned the M14, AR 15, the M50 Machine Gun, the M79 Granade launcher, and the colt 45. I learned proper care and storage of all weapons. I learned tactics, (I got a 94/100 in the test). I learned how to take and give orders, how to handle men and run a company.After graduating OCS, I was in class # 7 of the 13 classes sent to Germany. I was assigned to System Control where we controlled all the communications for all of 7th Army. We tracked all the communications outages on our shift and made a report that was sent up to the Full Bird Colonel.I was transferred down to 97th Sig Battalion where I was platoon leader and ran a platoon of 30 men. We had the most efficient platoon in the company. We always had any assigned tasks completed first before the other platoons.I was released Mar 29, 1969 and went back to work for Boeing, but for the SST plant in Seattle. I worked on the engine burst pattern to show where the alternate back- up systems needed to be in case an engine blew up. I also worked on the total configuration drawing of the SST. They transferred me to cost accounting where I worked with accountants and drew charts for them. They eliminated my position and was caught in the lay-off in 1971 where the had the Billboard on I-5 that said The last person out of Seattle, shut off the lights.I went back to Oregon where I went to work for Gallankamp Shoes where I learned how to sell, be good with customers, control inventory, do the ordering and do the books. I became the assistant manager of the East Port Plaza store and then got my own store in Eugene, Oregon.Focusing on the last 10 years. Since I had retired in August of 2011, I only did side jobs of painting and handyman work. In April of 2016 I started Handymanjim. Where I did remodel work. In one job, I moved a toilet along with the plumbing and the drain. I patched the concrete floor and built and installed the shower stall and tiled it. Installed a solid curtain rod from the ceiling and the plumbing for the shower. I removed paneling from the walls and replaced stud 2 x 4s where needed. I moved and rewired for a new light and the switch for it. I hung the sheetrock and taped and textured and painted it. I finished by installing a Pergo floating floor over the concrete.In January of 2017 I bought my Kia Soul and started driving for Uber. I had over 2500 trips without any incidents during that year. I continued with Handymanjim at the same time until March of 2018.I next worked as an assembler in a metal fabrication shop for the state of Washington until I restarted school at Greys Harbor College in Aberdeen, Washington.Since then, I have worked through different temp staffing Companies. (Labor Systems where I worked in a steel fabrication plant as a machine operator and general labor). Labor Works where I worked for a construction Company as demolition and general labor clean-up. And lastly through South Sound Staffing as Security for different events such as the Mariners, Seahawks and the Huskies.EDUCATIONSCHOOL LAURELWOOD ACADEMY IN 1964Studies included General Math and Algebra, English, and History, it also included Accounting and Wood Shop.WALLA WALLA COLLEGE Where I took modern math and English. Then switch over to a Electronics program. Did not complete the program due to lack of funds.Attended Greys Harbor College for Business Administration for one year of a two year program.
