<DIV><BR>In 1968, my dad was administrator of Crestview Terrace Nursing Home. He
gave me a job in the laundry, mangling cotton sheets for a whole 25 cents an
hour! It was wicked, hot work, but at least I had a radio. I worked about 4
hours a day. To this day, my favorite Stephen King story, is The Mangler.
*laugh* </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The next year, he purchased Paradise Villa Nursing Home, now Aspen Park...
The summer of 1969, I had the thrill of washing windows, inside and out. What I
remember the most about washing those windows, was as soon as they were done, it
would rain. Just a touch of rain, and a puff of dust, to muck up my hard work...
and it was start all over again!<BR></DIV>
<DIV>The next year, I graduated to housekeeper. Boy, did the promotion puff my
head! My second week, my prideful bubble was burst, when after bragging to Dad
how I'd cleaned 10 rooms before noon. He said "Daughter, everyone of these
people is some body's grandma, grandpa, sister, brother. This is their home now.
You are not to rush in and out of rooms, but visit with each person, as if they
were your grandma, or grandpa." It was then I realized how horrible it must be
to live in a small room for the rest of one's life... I made so many friends,
and to this day, am enthralled when elders recite their history.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>By 9th grade, I was promoted to laundry assistant, working under Bernice
Foster. The laundry was a humbling experience. Half my paycheck went into the
bank, the other half was spent at Myklebusts on clothing. For the fruits of my
labor, I was voted "Best Dressed" at MJHS. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All of my siblings worked in the nursing home. So our employees could be
with their family, we worked holidays, and weekends... we worked wherever we
were needed when a department was short of help. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dad taught us a work ethic, passed from the four of us, to his 13
grandchildren, and four great-granddaughters. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yep, dad broke labor laws, and I am glad he did. None of us would be who we
are today, had it not been for lessons learned in the halls of Paradise
Villa.</DIV>

I painted barns for uber-cheap over the summer… making more than I would have
detassling corn, but keeping the price low enough so that the farmers couldn’t
refuse the good deal… and made enough money by the next summer to purchase my
first car and pay for all of my insurance (which was the condition my parents
set forth for owning the car).<U></U><U></U></SPAN></P>
