What have I done?
'69 First job! (Only 12). I started my career in automotive, first sweeping floors and washing parts. I had been helping for over a year by taking off parts in their junkyard. The junkyard was replaced by a Winn Dixie and a Mobil Gas station and he put me to work for pay. I worked here until 75, except for the summer of 72
Summer of 72 Worked for IFAS (Institute of Food and Agricultural Services) a branch of UF. I started out as a field worker and ended up as a lab rat. Fun summer!

That's about the best I can remember.
Edit: Oh yeah... I was also a paper boy in Junior High School and then when I worked for the College of Architecture. During the latter, I would deliver to just my apartment complex and it was my morning run. I wore these bright green running shorts, bright white leather tennis shoes and a shoulder bag, prompting one of my room mates to dub me the "Cosmic Johnny Appleseed". Going up all those flights of stairs every day was GREAT exercise, but it ruined my knees.
