History of Tuff-Kote

I believe that Dad wrote this about 1989. I note that even though I "lived" this so to speak, I only realized a bit of what was going on. In the mid fifties John and I were hired to a sort of cottage industry, we worked in the garage and trimmed roles of glass fabric which had been cut in to ca 6 to 10 cm wide roles and we trimmed off the stray pieces of glass. We found that it paid well, especially after we learned how to do it fast and well and were paid by the piece.
