My grandfather worked for western electric as a central office installer foreman. This was befor the stock market crash of 1929. Yes, everything was Western electric. Let's just say Western Electric was bell labs for history purpose. Now my granfather is screwed. His has to take his 5000 shares of western electric stack and cash them in to live on.
Those same sares today would be worth 10 million.
So, the guy is laid off like the rest of the people at that time.
What does he do.... Nothing until world war 2 starts... Ok he's got a chief radio operators license along with his Western Electric Backgound.
Who hires him?
