After retiring from the United States Marine Corps in 1974, I was looking
for a job! I started working for truck tanker lines and attended Delgado
Community College when things were real slow. I applied at Michoud. I started
to try out for machine shop, but the boss thought I did not qualify, so I
started working in the sheet metal shop. My bosses were Mr. Uhener and Mr.
Peters. After a while, I became Inspector “B.” About a year later, I became
Inspector “A,” which was much better. I was responsible for moving tanks into
various positions, including barge loading of the tank for shipment to Florida.
I was very committed to my job and quality. I am very proud of that. I retired
in 1991.
