Detasselers
My wife Rita and her sister detasseled and so did my son and my nephew. It is still done here in Iowa for some companies. They all have memories, some more positive than others. I never detasseled but knew that any girl who did it was one worth dating and later marrying.

Gosh... I don't know why but this reminds me of when I was a kid. One summer I de-tasseled corn. Anyone who did it as a kid will remember it. It was the only job a 13 year old could get at the time. Fond memories other than the spoiled tuna fish sandwich that caused me to get my butt kicked after throwing up out one of the front bus windows on a hot summer Indiana day.
