MASTER AT WORK

Matt Sandor, former Roll and Machiner, is at home recuperating from a recent operation.  Since leaving our plant, Matt has become proficient in a time­honored, and most difficult,  profession - juggling.  He works not only with the Indian Clubs shown above,  but with hoops, balls, and even basketballs. (Look out Globe Trotters!). Matt is currently working toward mastery of the trick of juggling five balls in a "shower" pattern - a performance matched by only a few men in the world!

Matt was seen on nationwide television last summer during the World Juggling Convention in Los Angeles . He has given benefit performances for Christmas parties, Union picnics, and the Police Boys' Club.
