Talked to them every darn day. At work and across the lunch table from them. A brand new chevy 4x4 cost $6,200 dollars and as I recall, lots of the guys I worked with had one, or a Found On Road Dead. New houses were shooting up everywhere too.


That's all you got?

You know as well as me that construction was way down in the 80's. Most workers around here, after HCoal, and the RCC on the hill were done, had to go work in Augusta, GA. just to get to work a 3 day schedule. Several traveled to Texas on one big job down there. If you deny construction workers around here in the 80's weren't suffering, you blatantly lie. I lived through it with several family members, across several different states, that suffered also.
