That was 38 years ago! Today I consider myself to be fairly (rather beyond fairly) successful, living on the mainland...earned B.S.A. and MSA degrees. That little job although for a brief period of time before I left for New York helped with my journey to self confidence. Even when you messed up he never got mad or acted mean. He just spoke to you like a father.
I had forgotten about this brief experience, until I saw the name and then the picture...same smile after all these years. To his family; take comfort in knowing he left legacies not just from the business rewards, but the kindness he expressed to a young impressionable teen by letting her stack shelves and take inventory that help build her confidence and left her knowing she could indeed do anything the boys and men could.
