One of the things I do while watching old shows is try to read the price signs in the background. Then I pull up an inflation calculator and compare to now.ProudHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305205710265854978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-67397660311313077332013-10-22T22:05:23.616-07:002013-10-22T22:05:23.616-07:00I to worked for Western Electric in Mesquite TX, I...I to worked for Western Electric in Mesquite TX, I started in 1970, worked as a electronic tech for 31 years, it was finely closed in 2002, It now is a server farm for some IT company.

Started there in 1987 as a Manufacturing Controls Engineer. Great place. Part of the factory was from the 20's - great place to work. This was a place that had its own power plant - it was that big. Last I heard, it had been bulldozed, less than 20 years after investing millions in new equipment to make plugs. McHairballnoreply@blogger.com
