Once upon a time—and for a very long time, in fact, before its last gasp in 2007—there was a paper mill on the banks of the Upper Ammonoosuc River, in the little northern New Hampshire town of Groveton. One of the many voices heard in Jamie Sayen’s “You Had a Job for Life,” the story of this former company town, belongs to Pete Cardin, who in 1971, at the age of 21, came home from Vietnam to a job at the Groveton Paper Co. He began as a machine operator and rose over the decades to production manager.
