    This is a cool thread.........interesting lives.

    Mine right now is 'S' for superintendent. Building Super at a large church............

    The past has been: 11 yrs restoring 67-69 Camaros including a few national show
    winners

    Self employed towing business

    Radiator shop owner

    Auto glass repair

    Auto a/c installer

    Dealership mechanic

    Drywall finisher.....man... that sucked!

    Many of you would also use 'S' for stupid on me too as I was called twice from North Carolina to work for a Winston Cup Nascar team.........and turned it down.

    I can take F for Field Applications Engineer. I work with RF generators for plasma systems in the semiconductor industry.
    I can also take A for actor... part time. I do stage plays, movies, TV commercials, etc. to make some extra cash and recreation. I also direct, am a camera operator and set designer with several awards for community theater.

    I can't help get past 20 - I'll have to repeat a couple. I can claim A for accountant or C for CPA as I'm CFO for an insurance group. Also fall into the V for Vet or M for military category - I'm an officer in the Air National Guard.

    I had forgotten about this one. Where did everyone go? Time for the new guard to chime in.

    Unfortunately, I can now add F*RD mechanic, as I am building the 62 unibody as we speak.
