How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
The date was September 19, 1969. I remember like it was yesterday. Crouched in the cab of my 1950 Ford pick-up, I was busy installing yellow shag carpeting and painting the dash with simulated leather paint, like every other teenage hippy of the time. My Aunt Stella and her fiancé, Walter “Wally” Warenuk, were visiting my mother at our home on Stark Rd. in Livonia. They’d stopped by to see if my older brother, Richard, was interested in taking a job as Wally’s helper. Nixon had taken office and the war in Vietnam War was well underway. My brother, Richard, was preparing to join in the fight.
But before leaving, Wally asked me if I’d be interested in helping install windows. At the time, I was working as a mechanic-in-training at my Uncle Judge’s gas station. Much as I appreciated the opportunity to earn some extra cash, I hated the work. Back then, we didn’t have fancy hydraulic machines and electronics. It was full-on wrangling with an engine and my hands always paid the price in the end, evidenced by the gash’s and cuts in my skin. I was 16 years old, still in high school. So I told him yes and went to work for Win-Tite, Inc. That marked the end of my customized pick-up. I spent the following week installing a rack on the bed of my truck that would accommodate the beginning of a life-long career...
