Marcellus Trach recalls with a smile the many rules a wood worker had to follow in the C.F. Martin & Company when he was first hired after World War II. He also expressed the pride so many of his co-workers felt over the years towards the world-class musical instruments they were making each day. Marcellus like so many others worked for the guitar builder his entire career and like many of his co-workers he found that his son took an interest and followed in his footsteps at the company.
