Dad’s first job (legal at least)


When Dad was 17 he was hired to work a a big car dealer on Baum Blvd. He was the prep person for cars. He would walk to work to save the trolly fare of several cents. He worked on many beautiful cars. This was one of the biggest car dealers in Pittsburgh. Another job was near the Market House on the Northside. One day as he approached the building several other workers said “Chuck, don’t go in there”, he stayed back and watched as the business was raided for illegal trafficking. The sad part was he never got paid for working that week.
