My name is William Abbott I went by the nickname Redlite. I worked at Buckeye Steel between I worked as a mold maker, a hole man on the molding gang. I worked my way up to a core setter…. My father worked there too in the core room, making cores for the mold master.

My mother looked in the window once and said me and my father worked in the machine, made famous by Pink Floyd. I worked there during freezing cold and the hottest summer heat. I can say I was an American Steel worker..
