    Someone new to hassle at Factory Five

    My Boy!



    This morning Grant Hodgkins started an internship at Factory Five for the summer!

    He will be there for June and July, learning general business practices as well as the "nuts and bolts" of running a modern, successful manufacturing facility.

    I'm so proud! (not to mention jealous)

    Have a great summer Grant!

    Congrats Grant.
    There are a lot of good hole in the wall places to eat there in Wareham.
    For good cheap eats and a good view go to the Narrows, we'd always stop there for a quick meal.
