Slightly OT: AC Papers

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Mom gave me some of the technical documents my dad liberated from AC when he worked in the electrical division at West Allis in 1963.  He was in the middle of his electrical engineers degree at Madison, but needed to make some money to pay the rest of the way through college.  Being from Milwaukee I guess he wanted a job that would allow him to commute from home so he ended up at the West Allis works.  Little did he know at the time he would meet my mother a few years later when he moved to Two Rivers, who came from a dairy farm that ran AC tractors.  
Dad's been gone now for nine years, but the little things like these bring a smile.  I keep these pages along with the AC pocket protector and portfolios Dad gave me earlier.
