I "grew up" in a malleable iron foundry. A foundry is not nearly as dangerous day-to-day as a coal mine, but the work beat the men down just the same. It was hot, dirty work, even in the winter and they had to keep up no matter how tired or sick they were. Like you, I learned a lot of lessons from being around that type of work and the men who did it. Is there a way to convey those lessons to our children? I surely hope so. <BR/>EABAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
