I was in the work after school program so I was able to go to work on school time and get credit . I think it was a great way for a guy like me to get ahead . I have not missed a days work in the last forty two years . I was able to jion the union at fifteen years old . So i have a great retirement a head in three more years with forty nine years of sevice. As everyone that knew me knows I did not like school but I loved to work I was route salesman with Medford bottling until 1975 . In 1975 I became a salesman for Williams bread which I still do today . In 2005 I became the President of the Teamster Union # 962 in southern Oregon . I have a lot to be thankfull for . I think it all started with Mr Willams at Medford High looking at kid like me and thinking what will work for him . Without him I would have been a drop out and my life would not have this good.
