My first job was working at Bullock's Dept. Store in Pasadena, CA, $1.35 an hour, back in 1967. You were suppose to be 18 to start work there and I just turn 16. Left when I was 18. Started out as a bus girl then made it to the dessert, salad and sandwich departments. In the summer when the baker went on vacation, I got to bake all the pies and muffins. Lots of fun, especially since we all became good friends. At Christmas time, got to see when Lucille Ball came in. She always came to the restaurant and eat after their shopping. The restaurant also served as a base for the Rose Parade Queen and guests. We also had fashion shows there. Many memories. Met a boy there, dated but didn't marry. Fun times!
