Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 319 Oh, joy. You see, I really loved that job. I loved it almost as much as being married to my last wife. Okay, I really did like the job a lot better than being married to her, but let‟s be real. I also enjoyed root canals more than I enjoyed that woman. <strong>My</strong> duties consisted of sitting on a chair in front of boxes of bolts, which I had to assemble. I‟d take out a bolt, put a lock washer on it, then screw a nut onto the bolt. After putting that finished product in a box, I‟d start all over again. I‟m telling you, “a thrill a minute” doesn‟t do that job justice. Therefore, every time my back hurt, which came faster than labor pains, I‟d tell the foreman, Bob Meyers. After a while, he had to send me to see the company doctor who, upon hearing my dismal report, sent me home on paid sick leave! I was being paid $120.00 per week, after taxes, for working forty boring hours. Now they paid me $80.00 per week and told me not to set foot in the door. hell! Not to worry, folks! There ain‟t gonna be no Billy buggin’ you guys! No way in Since I still lived with my folks, the cheques were mailed to their house and arrived every week in Wednesday‟s mail. I called Mom and gave her a bullshit story about Unc falling off the wagon as my reason for moving on. I knew it made her so pissed at him she wouldn‟t call, and I knew he‟d be too embarrassed after he lost his temper that way to call her. I told Mom I was gonna drive around the state a few days and take pictures. We agreed she‟d sign my cheque and send me the money via Western Union. Being Mom, which was synonymous with “being a big sucker for Bill”, she even paid the fee to wire me my money each week. Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 320 I didn‟t have a pool cue, but a hustler never brings his own stick, so I was fine with that. I did have some gloves in the trunk, eight ounce, ten ounce, and twelve ounce, so I figured I was okay if I decided to fight for a while, although I had no idea where or how that might happen. The rest of that day, and all the following day, I drove around in my ‟63 Chevy, just taking pictures. West Virginia really is a beautiful state, and they also have some incredibly beautiful, very enticing women. I slept in my car the first night, and found a fleabag hotel the next. The day after, I was in a rundown bar in some little town, still in West Virginia. I stayed in that state my entire first sojourn into the world of backroom boxing. Somehow, during a conversation I had with the bartender and another drunk at the bar, the topic was soon shifted to boxing. Unashamedly, I told „em I was pretty damned good with my hands. Even stretched the point and said I was undefeated, which excluded Lincoln Ashford and a Polish guy named George Piclik, a student at O‟Rafferty, then later at Sexton. He was six-five, two-forty, and had a reach on me I couldn‟t get past. We fought in the driveway outside Joe Jolly‟s house, three rounds, and I‟d say he was the winner. The conversation at the bar seemed to stay on boxing until, after a while, the other drunk told me to follow him. We went down the street to a building I thought might be an auto repair facility gone bad. He started asking me a lot of questions about how good I was, what were my best talents, and so on. Finally, in what I‟m sure he thought was a surprise test, he took a rat from a cage and tossed it at me. The rat was squeaking in terror as it sailed at me, so I solved two problems at Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
