Tom Hanley – They Were the Dregs of Society, But..
I always loved being a longshoreman. I was always proud of being a longshoreman. Because I’m gonna tell you about longshoremen, they were the dregs of society, but there were a lot of good men. Like when I was a young kid and I’d start to go astray, they would try to steer me in the right direction. “Hey. Kid. Come here. I wanna talk to you.” There were a lot of good men.
