This Joe guy was a pretty highly paid machinist. Had about 20 years
in, and IH had a sweet retirement program.
I remember thinking WTF? How can anybody be so stupid?
I don't understand the thief mentality on several levels.
Though copper was pretty cheap then, I guess it was easy to sell.
Or maybe Joe's hobby was copper working. Don't know.
Thing is, the risk/reward was all out of whack.


Wish that I had carried out lots of stuff from where I retired from. The
company had a good retirement when I started. Then after about 25 years
they changed the retirement program and in effect stole about $ 15,000 per
year from me and others.
I also could have retired about 7 years sooner with the same or more money.
