Story - USA - Big machinery is his specialty
Ocala,FL,USA -Ocala.com, by RON MALPASS -9 July 206: -- When Jim Milliron was just 16 years old, he went to work in a coal mine as a mechanic's helper. "I knew right then what I wanted to do with my life," said... Jim eventually went to work for Femco Machine. Femco is a world-class machining, repair and field service organization with offices in Pennsylvania and Florida. The company repairs and makes gears for the behemoth 300-ton cranes and some of the largest draglines in the world... When one of these mammoth machines breaks down, the cost can be hundreds of dollars an hour... "We have worked in every state east of the Mississippi as well as Canada and the Caribbean Islands"... Jim is relaxing with his wife Nancy at their home in Belleview now. Soon he will head back to New Orleans or to wherever there is a need for heavy-duty mechanical expertise...
