Minneapolis, MN 55441  (763) 546-6943 (763) 541-8147  By Joe C from Rivesville, WV Posted Aug 11, 2015 My first real job only lasted the summer of 1967. Groves built a section of Interstate 79 from Marion County to Harrison County, WV. I declined an offer to follow Groves to southern WV for work on I-64 near Huntington, WV. This was the first "big" money job I ever had and the offer to go full time with the company was hard to turn down but I stayed home to finish college. I was impressed by Dick Hull who was my immediate boss and an old dude( his name escapes me) who was an engineer and an alum of Ga. Tech. I often felt maybe I should have stayed with the construction game 'cause Groves was a good company to work for.  By Erick Suarez from La Paz, Bolivia, MN Posted Nov 9, 2013 My mother worked for Groves, when the company was in Bolivia - South America, building a 32 miles Road here in La Paz. It was a nice time.
