May have worked with my grandfather who was a crane operator*. Lived in Syracuse but traveled often for big jobs. IIRC, he worked on the Washington tunnel. But worked on a bunch of the nuclear plants as they were being built throughout NY and Pennsylvania. Uncles too.Grandfather was an iron worker/rigger in NYC and hung iron on the Chrysler Building in the background. Still have his union card and pass for working at the Brooklyn Naval Yard during WWII. Died as a result of injuries sustained while working there.
*He was well known and my cousin says people still ask him about him since they have the same name. He got pissed off one time and drove the crane home. Drunk. We're Irish.
