The above jobs do not include ALL of my jobs, obviously, as I was also a Paper Boy for the Nashville Banner in 1965 at the age of 8 years old - sold papers at the street corner of Vultee Boulevard by AVCO as well of at the Airport.  I later delivered papers for both the Nashville Banner and The Tennessean at East Nashville Routes.  Also, I have worked my fair share in restaurants - I've performed the tasks of Dishwasher, Bus Boy, Cook and Short Order Cook and have done kitchen preparatory tasks at: Smuggler's Inn, Fifth Quarter, Thunderbird and El Toro Restaurants in Nashville and Cookeville, Tennessee, respectively, as well as at the Patio Lounge in Denver, Colorado in 1974 when I lived with my aunt and uncle temporarily.  To remain employed in between jobs and while going to school, I have also performed Maintenance Tasks for an Apartment Complex where I was responsible for Maintaining two Swimming Pools, which required vacuuming, adding chlorine, and setting proper pH levels in two medium size swimming pools, painting apartments, changing lights and filters; I have also performed many 'side' jobs while attending college such as Mowing Lawns, Bailing Hay, Loading Hay, and perfoming a myriad of landscaping and various Laborer tasks.  In summary, I am not fazed by hard-work regardless of the nature of the work.
