These chapters should have provided a rare glimpse of the inner workings of the Bethlehem plant. The events I witnessed were seldom heard or mentioned outside the plant. I do not judge anyone Ive mentioned. Most of them have gone to that country from which no traveler ever returns. I doubt if one in any five hundred will have the slightest memory of me. Im okay with that. We are all spirits and survivors of a different era that is long gone and can be proud of what we accomplished. I am grateful and indebted to the USWA union, without whose help I never would have made it to retirement. As always, the companys response would be, Man was paid. I close with the words of Bob Seger, Sometimes at night I see their faces, the traces they left on my soul. These are the memories that make me a wealthy soul (Travelin man). So mote it be!
