Pre-IRS days

-Baling hay

-Trapping pocket gophers ($1 from the township I lived in for the feet, and $1 from the next township over for the tails).

-Mowing lawns

-Picking nightcrawlers in most of the yards I mowed for a gas station

My first job that the IRS knew about was a carryout for a small grocery store.

You were lucky....we only got $.25 per gopher.

But back in those days it was worth more

Baseball and hockey cards were $.25/pack then, and I spent ALL my money on them. If only I knew where they what my mom did with them after I left for the service

Yah baseball cards were $.05 a pack, and my Grandson has them all in a scrap book. I was lucky, Mom kept them, even though they aren't in the best of shape.

I was:

- A baseball and softball umpire from the age of 14 through the age of 23.

- Worked for Rent-All Minnesota for a couple years.

- And, "managed" Gimp's Live Bait in St. Paul for a couple years. Other than kickin' out drunks on Sunday mornings and ducking a couple guys brandishing pistols, that was the best job I ever had.

Boy was he mad!!!
