I met her husband first, though she worked for the family company first. If I told you the story how my mom and dad hired her you won’t believe it. It was in 1952 and my mom and dad realized to grow the business they needed a present in the East Coast.
I can still remember the day they left to go to Ct. Bud they guy who was going to be the East Coast salesmen showed up at your house with his car loaded with inventory. My mom and dad’s car was loaded down also. Can you believe that they did not know where they were going to unload the inventory?
They knew that the wanted to be in the Hartford area so that is where they got a motel. Mom and dad got a local paper and started look for a place to rent. They found this place on Park Road in West Hartford. It was small but that was all they needed.
Now it was to find a girl Friday to work in the office. Here was the ad my mom put in the local paper. “Looking for a middle aged woman with children grown and needs a full time job.”
Our special lady answered the ad, there was a problem she wasn’t middle aged and still had two girls in school. She applied anyways and her and my mother hit it off.
The rest is history. This wonderful lady worked for our company for over four decades and I must say did a fantastic job. What else happened is my mom and dad hired her husband a year later.
They became family to me and Micki. Though her husband has passed away we still keep in contact with this wonderful lady. She comes to Florida in the winter and we always want to go visit with her.
If the world had more people like our wonderful person from Connecticut the world would be a much better place.
Happiness with health and wealth to you
