These chapters should have provided a rare glimpse of the inner workings of the Bethlehem plant. The events I witnessed were seldom heard or mentioned outside the plant.I do not judge anyone Ive mentioned. Most of them have gone to that country from which no traveler ever returns.I doubt if one in any five hundred will have the slightest memory of me. Im okay with that. We are all spirits and survivors of a different era that is long gone and can be proud of what we accomplished.I am grateful and indebted to the USWA union, without whose help I never would have made it to retirement. As always, the companys response would be, Man was paid.I close with the words of Bob Seger, Sometimes at night I see their faces, the traces they left on my soul. These are the memories that make me a wealthy soul (Travelin man).So mote it be!
