Actually no he was someone who had worked there for close to 20 years at that point as a machinist doing the same thing dad did. The person who knew how to call dad is still there and is a friend of ours so he has all our information this other person dad knew and had worked with him but didn't socialize with him outside of work like some of the other guys who snowmobiled or had boats on the river like we did. So wrong again!
Machinists for Mobil Oil replaced the pumps around that plant all the time. FYI there is several different kinds of machinists besides just metal working. They were a do it all Mechanic for everything. He was even sent to Jet Engine School by GE as Mobil Oil at Elwood had a Jet Engine installed he was one of 7 who were the Lead Machinists to go and be taught how to rebuild the Jet Engine they used for Electricity. They did this in 1988. They found out instead of paying 400,000 a month in Electrical Costs they could do it for half that since they were producing Jet Fuel on a daily basis.
He was sent to schooling for computers, coding, Microsoft schooling and so on paid by Mobil Oil so they had someone who could do both. They wanted it to be kept in house and to have in house computer experts. Since the past 15 years or so they have people just for computers there but up till dad retired that wasn't the case.
When he took an early out at the age of 55 they begged him and begged him to stay on till 65 because of his knowledge and his abilities as only a couple other people had them at that plant. They offered money extra vacations all sorts of stuff he refused. Because he knew he had to get out of there when Exxon took over because of how Exxon runs their plants. He knew he would die there if he didn't.
So far that is 3 times you've called me or my dad a liar. How the FECK would you know wtf happened and when? You don't! I know what happened and when. You can question all the feck you want to but you would be wrong to do so.
I'm done arguing with you about it. I have other things to do right now then argue with someone who has called me a liar 3 times. I wouldn't question you on what you work on or have worked on or what schooling you have.
