Dad's first job after WW2 was at A.A. Otis Electric Motor Repair in Bloomington Il from 1946 to 1951. He's the second on the left in the first picture.

The next job was as an electrician at the J.I. Case Tractor factory in Bettendorf Iowa until 1955. He's the last on the right in the second picture. The crew he is working with was cleaning up debris after the 1952 fire in the foundry building. After that he did a technical sales job with Westinghouse Electric company selling power distribution equipment to customers as large as Dow Chemical.
