when AT&T was breaking up. He worked for Western Electric, but they kept moving him to different offices to train people. They forced him into early retirement instead of laying him off. He went to New York, Dallas, and other places I can't think of just yet. He worked in the office and lived out of a hotel or apartment. Then he got forced into early retirement. But got a lot of stock in the Baby Bells when AT&T got broken up. Over the years he sold his stock in the ones that didn't do too well, and kept his stock in the ones that did do well. But then he lost a lot of money in the technology bust, but still should have some left, I hope?
