And if you had a job with Kodak, you were "set for life"!!!
"Bonus Day" was a HUGE local event. Sales at car dealers, appliance stores slavering at the influx of $$$, you could not get into a restaurant... people going to bars at lunch time and coming back sloppy drunk... HUNDREDS of "check pools" (your check number would be a poker hand) set up weeks in advance...
Is that "Klezmer"???
Trivia: First 45RPM on the Apple label.

That does not include the entire "metro area". Employees came from all round because "it was KODAK". I knew one gal that drove almost 60 miles (1 way, from "Waterloo") 5 days a week.
Enough reminiscing... car to gas up, errands to run.
