Living Like a Conveyor by Katina Michael

Recorded 27 January 2023 at Arizona State University for Knowledge Enterprise
This poem was written in dedication of my beloved father who taught us by example. A man of few words, his actions still speak volumes. At age 7 his schooling was interrupted by World War II. This year he turns 90 and still has the same zest for life, the best smile, and no regrets.
The poem is based on a primary interview. Here are three translated excerpts: • At the Glass Factory -... and • At the Fine Foods Fact... and • Reflections on Life - ...
My father may never have finished elementary school but is one of the wisest people I know.
