Nice story! My first regular job was... equivalent, or less good. Kentucky Fried Chicken, washing all the grease-covered cooking gear for similar wages, limited to 3 1/2 hours per shift. Just long enough to block out my evenings, become disgustingly covered in chicken fat, and earn $10 before taxes.
I was told by the owners of the KFC that this was a college education job. Meaning, this is the kind of job that shows you the need to get a college education.
I was not amused. I might have even signed up for the black flies, if given the chance.
P.S. found you because I worked with your dad, visited you on a 4th of July maybe three years ago, and your mom posted the link on FB.

Our first jobs always leave us with something! Thank you so much Donn! I really appreciate you reading!!!
I meant to add, I also like the messaging. Well done to integrate the experience and message.
I appreciated you identifying the species of spruce (white spruce, Picea glauca)
I seriously thought of you and knew that I better not just say tree cause angus will want to know what type.
Thank you my brother
