I did it. (Laughs) Back in the 1930s, there was a lot of political activity going on. A lot of labor demonstrations, strikes, the organization of the CIO. Were you involved in any of that? Yup, yeah, Scottsboro, Tom Mooney, Warren K. Billings. I was an organizer in the Food, george c. wolfe Agricultural and Tobacco Workers Union down in North Carolina. You george c. wolfe worked in that industry? No, no, I accepted a challenge. The george c. wolfe industry I worked in just before the war, World War II, was the National Maritime Union. You were a seaman? Yup, yup. The late 30's and then into the war. I was torpedoed twice, once in the Mediterranean and once off Murmansk. You were carrying goods to the Soviet Union? Like 600 other sea ships in a convoy. You never knew what you carried. You could have been carrying potatoes, which of course we weren't, or you could have been carrying explosives. And you saw those ships go up. Boy, Coney Island never had fireworks like that. And all those men died.
