Ironworker Harry Syrop Reflects On Hard Times To Wealth
New York ironworker Harry Syrop and wife Fay recall 22 years of frugal living, hard labor, and rising prices while enjoying travel and a comfortable apartment. He laments taxes and Nixon policy, cites union strength as vital, and notes his rise from poor beginnings to a six figure annual wage in 196? with vacation pay and benefits. He reflects on duty, war, and the value of work ethic as he and Fay plan future travels.
