Chuck Knox Mills Quotations

My dad had come from Ireland and worked in the mills. My mom was Scottish and worked as a domestic, ... I didn't have any relations who had ever gone to college. I knew I could handle the academics, but the mills were working. People were making a lot of money.

I knew I could make a good living working in the mills, ... I decided I didn't want to fuss with the rest of it, so I hitch-hiked back home.
