Full time 2

Continuing to work at R.E. Jackson through the rest of My high school years, I enjoyed many happy and productive Lessons. My Boss and my mentor Terry K. Shelly was always there to direct and lead me as a worker and a young man. I have a lot of memories that could be said of this Job. I do remember when we Built the new building on Marina Drive in Elkhart, then we moved much of the machinery from Phillips street and Greenvile Michigan into that new Facility. I was very involved in all the aspects of this company as it grew. I continued to learn more welding skills here and ran Punch presses, Drill presses, Lathes and Mills as needed. We began to produce more Items here such as Emergency escape hatches for bus and train, door and cargo panels. It was all very rewarding and I so enjoyed all I learned at this time. I also remember a large Government contract we worked on, building many Aluminum cargo boxes for the Military to drop into battlefields or for Humanitarian supplies.
