My dad was able to house, Catholic educate us, and feed us from money earned as a steelworker. Most of us kids in Gary were raised by a dad who worked in the steelmills, refineries, foundries, or EJ&E RR. With the open windows at school or home, you knew that this was definitely an industrial ciity. . I had heard that the rank & file were in favor of the sale but the union leadership was against it.
