remembering Bill Webb.

Since Bill Webb has been dying I have been remembering all the things that happened over the years and the many good laughs we had at Webbs expense. for many years Bill was the god father at Tyson , you didn't get hired unless Bill hired you and if you were fired he did that too. although he didn't fire many people.
Once upon a time in the years gone by Bill hired this old woman, she was 80 years old if she was a day. She had blew into town on the grey hound bus and took a room in the local flea bag hotel.
We really enjoyed her stay at Tyson but Bill Webb didn't have much joy in her work, first place he didn't have a job she could do and besides she didn't have mind enough to do the job if there had been such a job.
She came to work when she wanted, at any hour that suited her and Bill had to talk to the lady not that he cared if she didn't come to work but the rest of his crew would soon pick up her habits.
So Webb had a chat with her about coming to work ever day, she did she came down to work on Sunday morning and Monday morning she chewed Bill out for not being there to unlock the door.
She walked the 3 blocks to work, most of us picked her up and brought her to work once but never again she talked so crazy we were afraid of her. On her walk she carried this big club to fight off any young boys who might decide to rape her she explained. She packed her lunch and took it on the line to eat at will.
One day after 6 weeks she was gone and we heard the law picked her up seems she had escaped from a nut house down south. I ask Bill why did you hire that old woman? Bill said I was afraid not too because a fellow had ask for a job and I told him he was too old to do the work. He turned me into the labor board and I got in trouble so I thought they had sent her to try and get me in trouble again. Bill was aways truthful and he provided us with a lot of good laughs over the years at his expense.
