Bud's jobs

I'm determined to teach you guys how to do this blogging thing. :) An important consideration is when to create a new post vs. when to comment. In the present circumstance, Mike branched off from one of Cindy's posts with a whole 'nother line of thought... but he did it as a comment rather than a new post.

I think it warrants its own thread, so I'm starting one here, with Mike's question. Namely:

How many different places did Dad work after they got married?

Then I replied:

Dad's jobs that I remember...:

- Public Service (bus place)
- Carpenter
- "The Foam Rubber Plant"
- RCA Moorestown
- Tenneco (later a/k/a whatever-it-was)

I think the welding thing might've predated Mom & Dad's marriage.

And there was always saw sharpening. :)

And then Mike added, most recently:

Tenneco later became Occidental and since has become something else. In addition to the full time stuff, I remember him doing some freelance stuff such as all his years of teaching drums at Burlington Music Center. Was it a lot of years that he did the drums thing? I always thought of the carpentry stuff as filling in the blanks whenever he got laid off (how many time was that!?). Working with Charlie Heck, Warren Mayer, Lechleidner, etc. - was that all the carpentry stuff too? Or was that just sipping beers, hanging out by the pool, and hanging out at the lodge. (I know - MORE questions! I just can't help my self). (I apparrently can't stop with the parentheses either. But I digress!) I also remember the RCA gig being somewhat non-linear. Worked there, got laid off, worked somewhere else, came to RCA. Anyone else have a similar perspective?

Okay, now the way it would (should) work is that any more discussion about Dad's work would appear as comments to this post. Does that make sense?
