Phil Lassiter

My best summer job when I was at Edison was working for the Tulsa County roads department.I worked on the highway paint stripe machine as a traffic cone placement officer.I like my 10th grade school photo best.I was wearing a dark sport shirt with a white t-shirt showing through.I was wearing imitation blue suede shoes with elevator inserts,a St.Christopher medal on a neck chain,a White Owl cigar band ring on my left hand and a Captain Midnight magic decoder ring on the other hand. I had some stale Cheezits in my shirt pocket.

My nickname from Junior High school on, was "rat face".Nancy Knapp gave me that name.She was a very funny person.People started treating me with more respect once that nickname got around,like I was associated with some gang.For lunch everyday in the school cafeteria I ate a 5lb block of sharp cheddar cheese which made a few kids very jealous of me and my reputation.
