Show PETER AND MITZIE VA CHEL T 2 2002 PET: It was nothing going in at three four o clock in the morning and put in tw I thirteen hours. BEC: Wow. MIT: So now he's retired, semi-retired. PET: Semi-retired? MIT: Sometimes (laughs) BEC: Well, I'm curious, is sausage making done now as you learned it in the old country or is it all done by machine? PET: Most of it's done by machine. See, I was fifteen when I went in the meat business, when I started working in the meat market. I learned to make liverwurst and a few things like that. But then when I was nineteen, I had to go in the service. I went in the navy and I spent a year and a half in the navy, well, two years in the navy; that was a year and a half in Indonesia. I was drafted into the navy. BEC: Was this during Korea? PET: Well, no. Pretty close; almost. Indonesia, where I was stationed right after the war, because Indonesia tried liberating themselves from the Dutch. BEC: That's right, you're talking about the Dutch navy you were in. I was thinking this was after you- PET: I was still in Holland. BEC: That's right. So you got drafted. I'm telling you, after you live through World War II, when you got drafted you had to have thought, "No, no. Not another war!" MIT: Yeah. 38 |
