Back in the Sone age when I was young. My mother worked in a factory where they make the pouches for the amo for the US Army. She became ill and could not go to work. The forman said that I could replace her until she got better if I could do the job. I made several of the pouches and he approved of my working after school for 4 hours a day and on weekends. I had been sewing ever sinse I could reach the tredle on my grandmothers machine. I worked for 2 and a half weeks until my mother got well. They are good memories.
