That's a familiar name. My dad was a machinist. He didn't talk much about what he did (like so many during those years) but he did talk about the other men there, and sometimes about the bosses. He started working there soon after he got back from WWII. What was your dad's name? Mine was John (aka Jack) Lawrence. Ellie : :That was probably when my father was there also. He worked in :the office and as a salesman. I think his boss's name was :Jack Ferenbach(spelling?). : :-----Original Message----- :From: LE Terrell <elliet1027@earthlink.net> :To: INMARION-L@rootsweb.com :Sent: Thu, 20 Oct 2005 16:44:23 -0500 :Subject: RE: [MARION COUNTY, IN] Imperial Drop Forge : : :I was only there once, and I was too young to know where it :was. ;) Thanks :Marilyn.
