yesterday’s lunch…
traveling all the way back
to 1965
My first real job out of high school was working in a General Electric factory close to home just outside Trenton, New Jersey. I was a clerk in the shipping department and I remember Jim Purdy. Tall and slim, Jim was a mild-mannered man with wavy dark hair, and every day for lunch he carried a brown paper bag filled with two sandwiches of sliced red tomatoes on soft white bread. That was nearly 60 years ago and even now I can see him sitting down, quietly eating his two tomato sandwiches. Jersey tomatoes are the best! 🍅 🍅
