My first job other than babysitting was as a seamstress in a shop that made clothing the summer after graduation from high school (summer of '66." The supervisor would drop a big bundle of cloth and I would sew the collar seams. After about 2 weeks I was called to work at the post office. I was hired with 3 other women and we were the first four women to work at the post office in Bay City, MI. It was a good job with good pay for the time. The men were fun to work with and were very worried about me going off to nursing school in Kalamazoo as this was the summer that 8 student nurses were murdered in Chicago by Richard Speck.
