I grew up on a farm in Southeast MO, so first "job" was in the first grade feeding and cleaning up chicken and rabbit coops. Everybody has ajob on the farm but my first job away from the farm (that wasn't working for other farmers) was at the four lane bowling alley in town. My brother and I set pins. The pins were placed by hand into the setting machine and the machine was dropped manually. We had a blast! We got hit by flying pins from time to time but you learned quick which bowlers brought the thunder!!! I think we made about $3 a game and set about 8 - 10 games a night. I started when I was 14 and did this for 3 or 4 years.
