    Helping my father on his milk truck on Saturdays and in the summer, when milk was still delivered to your home!

    Of course at 10 years old Dad didn't pay much, but man did I cleanup at Christmas! : )

    At 14, I got my own first job, slinging newspapers from my bicycle.

    Even back then the newspaper abused us paper boys and girls, we had to pay the bill when dead beats used to duck us or not answer their door to pay up. The newpaper wouldn't allow us to terminate a subscription and we didn't get paid until the dead beats paid up or we had to eat it ourselves.

    Delivering the Washington Star newspaper in suburban MD. I was 11, and was making $50 a month by the time I gave up the route in November, 1968.

    That was good $$$ in those days...

    When I was 14 I had a job planting dynamite in the Tangier Sound.Dredging was deemed unaffordable,so the Army Corp Of Engineers decided to dynamite instead.I would swim to the middle of the sound,dive down about 8 feet(on high tide)and push the cluster as deep as I could in the mud.The igniter was never attached until I was safely back on shore and about a hundred yards away and behind a truck.I recall once when it was set off a stump landed on the truck hood.Call me crazy,but I loved that job and the attention.
