Body:	<i>Ok, Ill jump in. I had 2 different 'Wiper' routes. The ist was around Mitchell School. The second was Brent's old route. It was bigger, so that meant it paid better. It was too big and too damn far from home! I quit and took a Republic route over from Bob Erickson ('68) around Mitchell (my younger brother Stan had my old TDN route). The Pattons had a horizontal monopoly in the 'hood. My brother was named TDN carrier of the year 2 or 3 years in a row. I added another ajoining route and carried 130+/- papers until after graduation. The money was good for the times and I was trying for an R&G scholarship. No luck there, but another THS '69er, Rick Schumn did get a 4yr. R&G scholarship. I learned alot about business, service, discipline, responsibility and money from those experiences. I also learned that staying up all night was hazardous. I went from closing shift at Burger Chef to Dunkin Donuts (Paulette worked there -- what a hottie!) and then to Dairy Queen (my paper station). I usually drove the route in my truck, but occaisionally rode my bike. After 3 hours of delivering those huge Sunday papers I was so tired I'd fall asleep on the bike -- I ran into parked cars twice!! After I sold the truck, I had a VW with a ragtop sunroof. After work at Burger Chef, sometimes Bob Johnson who workeds with me, would help me deliver papers. We took turns throwing, standing thru the sunroof. (It worked well for oranges and fire extinguishers, too)</i> *
