When I was eighteen I became eligible to get a union card,

which meant I could get a full-time summer job with better

pay (I continued to work at Sickser’s during the Christmas

season). I joined the International Brotherhood of Teamsters’

Local 812, the Soft Drink Workers Union. Every morning I

went downtown to the union hall to stand in line to get a day’s

work as a helper on a soft-drink truck. It was hard work, and I

became an expert at tossing wooden twenty-four-bottle Coca-

Cola cases by grabbing a corner bottle without breaking it.

After a few weeks, the foreman noticed my work and asked

if I’d like to try driving a Coke truck. Since I was a teamster, I

had a chauffeur’s license and was authorized to drive a truck.

The problem was that I had never driven a truck in my life.

But, hey, why not? It paid better.
