Cancer General Motors and Ford

Much of lifetime in battle with

GM Ford Chrysler, Delco

Just to make their workplaces

Fit for humans, with a living wage

An assembly line with dignity & respect.

Curry Chevrolet very first strike.

Learned to eat raw clams, slurp oysters.

“The kids very first oyster,” How the men laughed.

Ha ha ha ha ha and Another trespassing arrest.

Ford Weehawken Assembly over the fence

Leaflets inside the plant. We won for the U.A.W.

Good Works at Henry Ford’s Foundation

Voting rights, Civil rights, Women’s rights.

Miners for Democracy, Anti Poverty.

Old Ford money fighting the good fight.

Here I am at Sloan Kettering hospital

Two giants of GM Left their money to fight cancer.

Do they know they’re treating an old adversary?

Their way of saying? “Sorry for the cancers we caused?


Arrived at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) to see Dr. A. He had seen the Cat-scan from Stony Brook. Thought he could operate remove growth from pancreas. Decided on new Cat-scans done at MSKCC. New Cat-scans taken right then and there. He would let us know results on the way home. In the car driving back from the city came the call.

Problem. The growth is over an artery. Can’t operate. They will call Monday to setup appointment for Endoscopy so they can see is malignant and what kind etc. and start Chemo. The Chemo not as devastating as many others. So there we are. Really slouching to 95. My best RS
