I am 99% sure that was farmed out. The two gentleman that ran the shop when I was there were two very cool and interesting people. I remember the older of the two had a small tattoo on his arm and hated cabbage. The other had worked on the Panama Canal who had great stories to tell.

Star History / Former Employee

Hey all, I just stumbled onto this website. I worked for the guys when I was just getting ready to graduate from Monte Vista High school in Spring Valley. I was what you would say "Low Man on the Totem Pole". I guess that would be from 1977-79. I then entered the military. I have many fond memories working at Star. One of my jobs was picking up stock steel and oil driving the old blue ford truck they had. 3 on the column. Grinding the slag off of the casted pieces of the reloader. I was taught how to run some of the screw machines. The stories I was told about the building of the Panama Canal. Anyways just wanted to say Hey....Bryan Overton.
