| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is a video clip from an oral history interview with Don Koldewyn. "My dad never felt that he had a good opportunity for education. He graduated from high school but I guess always wanted more. So whenever I was out on the job with him and it got really ugly, and there can be ugly times in plumbing--Six inches of sewage in the basement, cleaning out drains, or the one that I really used to like was when we used to lay clay tile sewer pipe. Clay tile sewer pipe is laid by caulking around the joint with what they called oakum, which is something to make it watertight. Then, to keep the oakum in, they used to pour hot tar around it. Because it was clay pipe it was not perfectly round, so invariably a little piece of hot tar would shoot out, and would catch you on the arm. So you would say some words and he would say, 'Do you like what you're doing?' and I'd say, 'Oh, it's pretty obvious that I don't like this,' and he would say, 'Get an education.' That was always the word. If you don't like what you're doing, if you don't want to do this kind of work--which doesn't require an education--then get an education." |
