Show ALBERTO GUZMAN February 10, 2006 you know. That's the foundry. So I was a quarry liner. I used to get inside the quarry, you know that big round thing, about thirty feet up in the air, you know. You've seen them quarry you know, like that quarry that had here in Murray. JAS: Oh yeah, yeah. ALB: They laid down? JAS: Yeah. ALB: That's what they look like, a big one. JAS: Okay. ALB: They're quarry. They drop scrap iron in there and they melt it. It comes out of there and runs like water and you carry it on ladles, you know, small ladles. Ladles full of steel (like water). And they take it and the poor it down in the line for little molds. You know, they make little molds to make a lot of stuff out of steel and iron and stuff like that. JAS: And how long were you working with GM for? ALB: Close to five years I worked there. And then, I decided to take a trip- I was young, you know. I decided to take a trip and move all over the country. I went to Florida and I picked tomatoes, I done everything out there. And I made a pretty good living. You know, I didn't pay very much. And I worked in the lumber yards and all that. I even went with a guy hunting alligators. We got a dollar a foot, you know. We get a six foot alligator and we get a dollar a foot for the alligator. That was my money. I made money like that, you know, hunting alligators. 82 |
