Randy's account
In Randy's recollection, Jimmy Elliott needed pallets, had the wood and nails already, and chose not to buy finished pallets because that would have cost too much. Randy says Elliott then hired Randy and his mother to build about 50 pallets each.
What Randy says happened afterward
Randy says he used the $14 he earned to buy two Atari 2600 games at Harris Department Store. He closes the story by saying he has fond memories of building the pallets and buying those games.
