My father worked for a couple radio stations here in town and in Cincy. I remember him working downtown at Electrolert making radar detectors. Here's a little article about one of the first ones on the market http://www.radardetectormuseum.com/fuzzbuster_1.html

My Dad worked at G.M., started with Frigidaire and retired from Harrison Radiator in 1998. My Mom worked briefly at Winter's Bank before marrying and being the homemaker/stay-at-home mom.

My Granddad owned Deis Distributing until his death.

My other Grandpa was a firefighter, he drove the back part of the hook and ladder truck until an accident prevented him from firefighter duties. Then he worked for the Dayton trash department, in the office.

joey m, that is correct, my Granddad (mother's dad) was Hugo Deis, who owned Deis Distributing. He worked there with his brother Paul and I am sure someone else but I don't recall. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet his, he died in 1977, two years before I was born.
