Thank you; I thought it might be of interest to add that Dad hired on at the V8 plant in 1955 as an assembler and worked 89 days before being laid off (it took 90 days to become a permanent employee). He then went to Chevrolet Flint Manufacturing and secured an apprenticeship as a diemaker. He retired from GM after 32 years.

I started at Flint Assembly in 1979 and am still going.
