My father was Plant Manager and part owner of Collins Automatics, Spring
Park, MN. While in Junior High, I was operating Acme Screw-Machines part-
time at night, and also worked summers. My opportunity to set up came
along only because a man on the line had a heart attack, and I was able to
fill in for the time he was in the hospital. When he returned to work, I
got a job through my Physics teacher for whom I was the Physics Department
Aid. I went to my father's machine-shop whenever he would ask me for help,
as the ups and downs of the economy are felt, first in the manufacturing
sector. There was no part that I could not make run on the multiples. I
did many weekends, short-run, emergency, ASAP parts, most of which were
first-run, with all tooling made by hand, and quality was my personal
responsibility.
