Ok gang, let's hear it. What was your first place of employment? Mine was Long John Silver's at Midtown. The crew included myself, Nada Gallaher, Cindy Moore, Mark Hall, Mike Hardeman, Mark Damron,Johnny Greene, were there others from our class? We all smelled like old fish grease but we had a blast.

During Jr High it was newspaper route.
During HS it was Life Guard at Breezeland
After HS US Navy

I was pretty lucky in the job department...I worked at Third National Bank all through high school and when I was home from college. Didn't know it at the time and swore it wouldn't happen, but guess where I worked after college? You guessed it, a bank. All that training really came in handy!

I was lucky( at least I think I was....), and my first job was at Pollack's Jewelers downtown. Gina Gevedon worked there too but we didn't ususally work together. She did help get me the job though.

I remember having to go to the boss's office to ASK for my paycheck every week. He was very strange in that way.
I burned the back of one of my hands on the jewelry steam cleaner, never forget that, still have a scar!
Oh the good ole days! It was a fun job though and I still love jewelry!

Mine was also a newspaper route[Ashland Daily]in jr.high.Then I worked at the Foodland on Carter ave.Terry Stewart and I would get off work thursday thru saturday,head stright to doug's carryout.

My first job was as a lifeguard at Southside Pool. Wow, those summers at Southside and Dirk's campground were so much fun. I hadn't thought about that in years.

My first job was at Breezeland Swim Club. I made 1.90 hr. I would have 15 min off the chair and go and sleep in the ladies locker room. John Frisbee would not let us play music like they did at Southside Pool. We could only play one album, Seals and Croft. I remember Summer Breeze. My first day I wore a two piece and the ladies complained to Mr Frisbee after that we had one piece blue suits. He would have died if he knew what went on after hours.

Kelley - I seem to remember Paul Weinfurtner gave Mrs. Wisenberger fits too. Didn't he hit her and knock her glasses off or something like that? He was a rebel before his time.

I was working at Perry's Skating Rink during our Sr year.Work there for over three years.

I had a built in job at my parents business. It was every Saturday if I wasn't gone to a band contest. Sometimes after school and every summer. It taught me a lot and put cash in the bank account so when I turned 16 I bought my first car,
a 1970 Nova. No power stering or brakes, I developed muscles quickly to drive that thing.

Senior year started working at the Ashland Foodland on Central with Richard Baker & Terry Stewart. The building there now houses Medical Offices. Nothing quite as "character building" as carrying out groceries, LOL. Suffered through many Sunday morning hangovers working there.

My first job was May's Donuts! Worked there with Carol Martin. We made $1.50/hour. I think I started there during the summer between 9th & 10th grade. Lied about my age & told them I had already turned 15....I was still 5 or so months away from 15....!!

Hey Luanne,
Don't you remember me working there also. Helped open the Winchester Ave. Store. Loved those Range dinners!

Mine was the good ole Dairy Cheer on 13th Street! Best darn chili, cheese, mustard & onion footlongs around and killer onion rings! My sister and I both worked there together . . .

The things that will come back to haunt you!

My first job was at Granny's Fried Chicken in Flatwoods. It was where Subway is now on Argillite Rd.

I believe I had the best part time job. I was the evening custodian at Oakview. I could go to work anytime that evening. No weekends. Leave when I got my work done. When your alone, big buildings do make a lot of sound. However, I had my own keys to the school and had use of the gym. I remember a bunch of us playing basketball on the weekends. I still have the photos of dunking a basketball and the rim being at my chest. What the photo don't show is the school trampoline under the the rim.
