KOKOMO — When Michael Moore is not on the assembly line at the Kokomo Engine Plant, he's usually holding a paintbrush. He brought his hobby to his day job to honor co-workers who served in the military.
"The stories I've gotten to hear from these guys that have served for years...they can look at this and say, 'This is home,'" Moore said."There were times where I was on the painting for half a day, then got pulled to go back to work." "It carries a lot of memories and significance for me, and we served it proud," Mallaber said."He would just talk to us and get the ideas and apply it to the canvas. Every bit of that is a story.""It doesn't really dawn on me what I'm doing until the very end," Moore said."It helps control the random thoughts in my head. I can zone in, I can concentrate, and nothing else around really matters.
