That's where your presence has been invaluable. It would be really cool, however, if one or two of the most knowledgeable of those workers could participate directly in a forum like this. Can you encourage them to do that? I actually worked at St. Louis and Tonawanda during late 60's &amp; throughout the 70s, but I never worked at Norwood. It would be great for us to be able to ask the actual worker(s) questions in a forum like this. Many of the members here won't be traveling to the Norwood events. It would be a real service to our hobby if you could encourage them to check in with us once in a while.

I'm a geezer now, but at 28 years of age I was promoted to superintendent of production at Chevrolet. At 26 I was senior engineer in charge of troubleshooting quality &amp; special projects. So, I got to see and experience a lot the production processes. It would be great to be able to &quot;compare notes&quot; on this site with others who had production experience. Memories fade (I know that mine does!). </div></div>

I just had this discussion with them about this over the past few days. I was promptly reminded that I had written a book, and was working on a documentary and that is how we had jointly agreed to put a public face on the worker experiences.

I was cooked when both guys pointed out how the original owner was chastised for what they termed &quot;straight talk&quot; about his car. Bottom line was that they were clear the hobby issues on the internet were &quot;my job&quot; to communicate.

I cannot blame them [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] .

They prefer personal interaction face to face. That are what the events are for.
