I worked at the cafeteria at Western Electric (29th & Cicero?)around 1982 to 1986. It was a little city in of itself. I have a lot of great memories from there.

I started working at 26th Street in 1966 on the sixth floor. I began as a typist. The floors were wood and there was no air conditioning. Once an hour a designated person would blow a whistle and other assigned people would pull the cords which opened the windows. I believe they were opened for one minute. When we heard the whistle we knew to hold down all our papers to keep them from blowing off of our desks.

Does anyone know of a guy that worked at the plant at Cicero and Cermak that went by the nickname "Paco"?. I am searching for my birth father and this is all I have to go on. I know its a long shot given the amount of employees..


Thanks

I forgot to mention the year - not sure how long he worked at the Hawthorn plant but the years would have been 1970 and 1971.
