Full Time

After these evening Jobs, I got another full time summer job at a company in Elkhart Indiana.

Now owned by Dynamic Metals www.dynamicmetalsllc.com/jackson.html . It was the

R.E. Jackson co. at the time. They started out in a small building on Phillips street, across from where I went to High School Elkhart Memorial http://www.emhschargers.org/ I started working here doing all sorts of fun jobs, I would tear down window units and rebuilding them to go back into trains and buses. Polishing the glass panes and resealing the units to create a double paned unit. We also ran a paint line for many different trim parts I did both the cleaning and then later learned to mix and spray the paints, trained by a couple of very experienced painters. The R. E. Jackson company started in Greenville Michigan, there was still a plant up there that did some punch press operation and some custom bending of rods to make Fold down table units in R V's. I was often used to deliver and pickup parts between the two plant using a company straight truck.
