I loved connecting iron! You could see that you had done work to make America better every day! Finally got tired of living out of a suitcase a long way from home. Hung up my belt in 1982 making $18.75/hr plus full medical insurance and a buck/hour vacation pay. <br>Went back to ranching with my Dad. Raised my sons to be excellent cowboys and helped feed America! God bless all the excellent guys in Local 10 I had the pleasure to work with!!!

I worked iron in the 70’s and 80’s. We usually used hand signals for the rig, when we did use radios, very few words when talking to the operator. And no harnesses or tying off.
