My father and older brother worked there. I once was going to an interview for a job there turned away from the gate's. I just couldnt see any future there for Shipwrites?(my brother's trade).

My father and brother worked there 1 Shipwrite and the other Corker burner. I was quite moved by this? Thanks.
