Any other cool stories from your time with Dal? When I was going through the interview process for my first job at Dal, I had to take a test at Human Resources and had to walk past a strike line near the A&A (Henry Hicks). One of the signs from a striker flew up in the air as it was a windy day and hit me in the face. I went to my test with a cut across my nose which then turned into two black eyes. Do you think that's why I got the job?
