He worked on roads and digging \par out basements for buildings. \par \par BIOGRAPHY: After the 1933 LA earthquake he worked in the oil fields in Long \par Beach. \par Then he got a really good job with the Braun Company working on the \par steamshovel. Braun was some kind of engineering company. He almost took a job \par in Houston, TX with the Braun Company but it didn't come about. The whole \par family would have moved to Texas. Instead he went alone to Curacao in the \par Dutch West Indies for the Braun Company and worked on steamshovels. \par \par BIOGRAPHY: During WWII he worked in the Army Corps of Engineers building \par roads, airfields, and such. He was stationed in the Aluetian Islands in \par Alaska. His letters were censored during the war as to any referrence to \par where he was. But his family could tell that he was some place that was very \par cold because he would say that it was so cold and that he could hardly write \par because of how cold and stiff his hands were. He suffered frost bite in his \par feet during that time and this caused him to have trouble with his feet and \par legs the rest of his life. His wife would message his feet and legs to ease \par the pain. \par \par BIOGRAPHY: He had a nickname, "Aho Slim". Is "Aho" a city in AZ?}
