This ones easy,I never give up,work hard at your profession or trade and you 
will MAKE IT.Learn everything you can about your trade,talk to as many 
people as you can about your trade,if you want to make it,everyone wants to 
help you.I've been lucky,many people have helped me along the way.

Mr. Saunders have you always been a welder??

Yes I have,I started welding on my Dads farm in Elmira,New York in 1965 I 
was 15 years old,then I went to a vocational school in 1966 to 1968 to learn 
more about welding,and that is when I made up my mind to become a welder for 
my occupation.I've never been sorry that I picked welding as my trade.
