Whether you work for a nickel or a thousand dollars a day, do the best job you can, says Harold Armour, who adds the pride in what you do is much more important than what you make. Armour, a resident of the Williams Tower apartment complex in downtown Akron, reflects on a number of Akron memories, including getting a job at a young age at Flaherty’s Potato Chips, and remembering where he was when JFK was assassinated.
When asked about what advice he would pass on to future generations, he says you will only get out of life what you put into it.
Armour also notes that Akron was an integrated community long before residents realized it, especially when compared to the racial tension that existed in the South throughout the ’50s and ’60s and into the present.
