trying many different jobs, brother Jim, JD,
who I don’t remember being around the

house much got a job with Fieldman Dairy,
which was up the alley from home.

Our home being on Corry Street was also
situated at an intersection of two alleys.
Diagonally across the alley intersection was
a big barn where trucks (moving and
storage trucks were kept) This barn later
burned and was replaced with a concrete
structure. The reason I mention this is
because this is where Mitchell finally got a

job after several a Pin Boy and Bar Tender
and several I don’t know. He stayed here
until he became disabled to work. Jim also
got a job here after many years at the dairy
because they sold and went out of business
Jim Stayed with Weil or Bo Weil, as the
movers were called, until his retirement.
Mitch also spent time in the U.S. Army
during World War II.

Back to me, somewhere about the time I was in the 4 or 5 grades, one afternoon Bob came into the house and
asked Mom if I could help him sell his newspapers. Naturally, I was all for it. But Mother had some advice for me.
She said if you get out there now and make a few cents you will always be looking to make more and always
working. She was so right!! But I did continue my schooling.

Bob went on and worked God only knows how many different jobs. I know he worked for Andrew Jergen Co.,
Lunkenhimer (foundry) Co., Valvoline Oil, Ford Motor Co, Philip Carrie‐John Mansfield Co., U.S. Army in Korea.
Then General Electric Co. Jet Engine. Then he quit and went back to Kentucky where he worked several
businesses he started, and then worked for some Particleboard company.

Paul likewise worked for various and many different companies such as Autolite, Cincinnati Street. Paul was in
the army before Korea.

About 1944 we moved to a place on Vine Street close to Corry and Vine. This is when my newspaper career
began. With Earl’s help we sold papers on the corner of Vine and Corry, McMillan and Vine and Ohio and

McMillan across from the Friars Club.
