I was a #Geek #Nerd in #FortWayneIndiana
Now I was good looking. Fit, not fat, beautiful blond hair and blue eyes. But I had all the nerd unpopularity in the 1970's and 1980's before it became cool to be into books and computers (in farmland Indiana). Only way I wasn't beaten-up daily was I took my school class to #Pepsi soda plant tours where my dad was #Manager
My dad had worked previously as an employee of #Pepsi in #NewYork - he then went to work for #RCCola in #Georgia in the late 1960's when I was born. Then in 1970's when #RKO #FWakeRKO purchased the #FortWayneIndiana plants - he was recruited to #manager of the canning in Fort Wayne.

Decades of sweet carbonation, pumped into glass bottles, all written on the walls of the Fort Wayne Pepsi bottlers plant. For more than 125 years, the Scheele family built their legacy inside an old building on Harrison Street.
