Brian, I worked at EB from 82-85 and built 688's on the north ways my hole time there. I'm now an NTL Boilermaker and work tank jobs and out of local 28&13. They generally have enough work to keep me in the Delaware valley most of the time. I have to say that my experience there welding has done me well in this trade but the amount of time twisted up like a pretzel in some hole is starting to take it's toll on my body. I'm sorry to hear about those small gunshops folding. I remember old man Campbell sitting in Campbells hardware store. He was missing one or both legs,I don't remember. I do remember thinking that he and his hardware store were a throwback to the old days. I didn't think then that it could last. Home depot or Lowes probably did them in just like so many in our area.
