Worked summers in my father's office machines business cleaning and repairing typewriters and duplicating machines for all the schools in town. Also worked in his print shop running letterpress and Linotype machines. Then in Tastee Freeze (like DQ) on the way to the beach selling ice cream and making hamburgers or banana splits for 67 cents an hour (plus all I could eat........big mistake on owner's part!) (bought a ski boat, motor and trailer with that money). Concession stand at high school football games selling hotdogs (and yes, I still eat all those foods, especially the ice cream!). Rock and roll band (bought Corvette Stingray with that money!).
