I began working for Motown the day after I got married, way back in September, 1963 - I was 17. I was a "technician/draftsman." Half of my time was spent sorting electronic parts and fixing microphone cables. The other half of my time was spent completing drawings for equipment that was being built - an activity I got a lot of enjoyment out of.  

Quitting time was 6:00 and usually the majority of the staff (100 or so employees) would line up at 5:58 to punch out at exactly 6:00 PM. I was newly married and wanted to get home to my wife as soon as possible - so for the first two days I was one of those employees in line at the clock.
