Potters Mills-When most boys his age were dismantling old cars, Monty Confer, of this Centre County community, was taking apart old watches. Working beside his father in the family's jewelry store here, he became proficient at taking apart watches, cleaning them, and reassembling them.

He became so interested in the process that he eventually decided to make it a career. He attended Bowman's Technical School in Lancaster for two years to become a watch maker.

Students at the school proceeded at their own pace, learning each process, performing it to the satisfaction of the instructors, and then moving on to the next step. What Mr. Confer accomplished in two years some students spent four or five years trying to do.
