Well, I start a new job tomorrow morning. Same company , but now I'll be the first new millwright moved or hired into Mech. Maintenance in 10 years. I was hired in 1978 to the Union Camp company Swamp Logging crew and started as a chain saw oper. for 3.90 an hour. I worked my way up to skidder driver then to fellerbuncher operator. I cut trees 14 years,did most all maintenance to the tractors and saws. In 1997 they shut the logging job down and I got in at the Paper mill as a spare to Maintenance Dept.In 1998 International Paper bought out Union Camp Corp. Jan 1st 2000 I took a permenant spot in the Sheet Converting dept as a Direct Loader , loading finished product into trucks or stacking in the warehouse.Iv had a transfer request in for Maint. about 10 years. Tomorrow I finally get my chance to shine.
