First job? Well, 1948, delivering the Detroit Times. Think I made seven bucks a week as I recall. Later on, over to the Free Press for about a year delivering the evening [[yes, evening!) paper. Then three months at Big Bear Markets [[Borman Foods) starting at 50c an hour, and about 1952 started at Fromm's Hardware, 8670 Grand River. Good job for a young guy, learned a helluva lot there. Worked there for three years while attending WSU and then on to the DPD.
