at, Central Elementary School, as a Jainitor, Maintenance, Painter and cleaner MORE
Really it was a very hard and Challinging JOB, that I endured, all Summer LONG
as my old Boss --HANK--, always --was so hard so strict--and--rude-mean-unkind-ornery-arrogant-- and found every little thing that I did--WRONG--W-R-O-N-G--WRONG
Hank my BOSS, he was in the--NAVY--during World WAR--TWO
and HANK, he knew, that I planned to be a----------UNITED-STATES-MARINE----------when, I Graduated, form--High-School
So, HANK, he, was --always--pushing-and- testing, testing--MY--METAL-Strength-Patience---GRIT--COURAGE--ENDURANCE---and--CHARACTER--, and pushing me to my ---every--EVERY-every--EXTREME--Final--last--straw--and-- LIMIT
and no matter how hard I tried and tried, , his favor and Praise I could never ever never ----BE-GOOD--ENOUGH--and-----WIN---IT
Until the last weak, of that summer of --1974
i blew up and, exploded sonic boom on -----HIM,----and-- he -------P-U-S-H-E-D-------- me--------NO--M-O-R-E
Then after about the last four days -----------without-a-single-word-said-between--us------HE----SAYS----TO---ME
well, your probably about the very best--BOY--and-- worker that I have ever had and if you want to Quit I don't really, --CARE-, ---and--I--know--that--was--the--GREATEST--compliment--HANK--ever-gave--and--I--returned--back-the-NEXT--summer--of--1975--and--worked-all, summer with HANK, as great friends and humming and funning around--until, I joined the--MARINES-----on----------August--19th--1975---------and--before--my--first--day--of--MARINE-BOOT-CAMP--the-old-world-War-TWO--NAVY--VET--had-me-tough--as--NAILS----rough-weathered--trained----and---For--MARINE--BOOT--CAMP--more--than----READY
