It comments on my good record and asks if I might be interested in earning extra money for Christmas or even taking a full time position. Since neither of us is available to follow up on this nice offer in that particular way, I thought I'd at least ask if you have a spot for such historical items in your files.

I wish I could add to one pitcher I found recently. I could not afford to buy these dishes when first married, but cannot forget how much I loved them. When I was a teen, Seventeen Magazine advertise a light blue spring suit by Catalina. I broght the magazine to the junior dept at the Main St store and was astounded to find out that they would special-order it for me. I never forgot the special times I would get on a bus on a Saturday and just browse through the downtown department stores. Those were wonderful days. Going to the tea room felt so special..Miland7@aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723065623705340751.post-43728689846646622572019-06-22T15:36:39.965-04:002019-06-22T15:36:39.965-04:00Maybe a related human interest story...
