Russ Hill Jr. For President, 1973
Not sure you can read what my brother's flyer said...
I think I can remember that far back!
Now, as I remember it, Ron, aka Dr. Savapenny, was paying Steve and I less than Minimum wage, which at the time was around $4.00/hour to sit in his sweatshop (usually over 110 degrees inside that hot box) that was Hill Marine to bead blast props, put on nosecones, and do misc. light construction with the Elder Hill. Yes, both Steve and I took the blame, mainly me as I was working with him around the time of the disappearance of the beloved $2.00 tape measure, for which I never heard the end of from Russ.
As for Steve getting fired, the way I remember it, and Steve correct me if I am wrong, but on a typical day at the sweatshop, Ron or Barb brought Chad over and Chad being a very 'hyper' and excitable youth (of maybe 4 or 5) found it funny to go around the shop and turn every piece of equipment on, that is until Jeff, and this is my favorite part, got a hold of Chad, picked him up and gave him his very first "swirly" head first in that putrid toilet of that sweatshop! Well, Barb got a little peeved and once again Steve had had about enough of it and basically, in only the way Steve can do it, referred to her as a female dog and that was the end of Steve's tenure ship at famed Hill Marine. I soon followed suit now that Steve was no longer there.
I haven't thought of that story for close to 20 years.
Too funny!
Ross :D
