Tim_S Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hey, John. Nice to hear from you. I'm still up here in Michigan. Hope your retirement is going good. Now Warren Turner working at Lowe's is something I have to see. Next time I'm in town, I may have to stop by and see him mixing paint.

Jordan Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) I have been working as a courier for Fedex Kinkos and going to school at night studying criminal justice. Life is great I can't complain. Has anyone heard anything about the money we are supposedly getting from the lawsuit against Ford for the asbestos in the roof??

I've been meaning to e-mail you and Patti but have been procrastinating.....I agree, I think I'll ride over to Lowes to see Warren in action....But when you really think about it, he was always good at stirring things up.... BTW, on June 19, I hit $7629.00 on a PENNY machine at Dover Downs..........I have a lot of skill at slot machines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpleman Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hello John, Good to hear from ya. Thought maybe you moved to Amish country! I don't know if I told ya that I was over at the new marine terminal as a crane tech. Pretty good so far. All GE drives and Processors, no AB devices anywhere. The Gunslinger is working for the State of Virginia at their terminal in Portsmouth as a Stradle carrier tech or crane tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unionj Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Great to hear from you John and glad to hear your retirement rungs have no square things on the end! I finally bought the business downtown I had talked about and all is going well so far. The only other guys I know off not mentioned are Bob D (mill) and Ron H (elect) both working for a crane maint company out of CA here in Tidewater and Matt M seems to be doing great with his business. Clay retired but is still in the plant as a contracter and I saw Rusty B and he mentioned a contract to remove all the DC tooling. Since reading this post I have decided to plan my weekend around a trip to Lowes to spill some paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet's building decks part time, Rick moved to Roanoke and Kenny, Hal, Jerry Cochrane, Steve and a few of the others have went to the shipyards. Next time I talk to Chet I'll see what Rudy's doing. Cecil and Calvin are still working at the plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
