There was a lot more frozen stuff available in the 60s that there were in the 50s. Few people in the 50s had chest freezers and the freezer section of the refrigerator was big enough for an ice cube tray, a pint of ice cream and a couple cans of orange juice concentrate. The grocery stores were full of canned goods. We had a great selection of canned fruits and canned vegetables, but not much selection of frozen food. |

He said "social" get togethers with people he used to work with. Heck, I'm still in touch with a number of people I worked with in Memphis. If I was there we'd probably get together for lunch or whatnot once in a while. As it is, email suffices. Jill |

Did not bother even walking out to the shop. There are a few people that I worked with that we still enjoy each other's company. One in particular I see maybe twice a month. She comes to the house and will spend and afternoon with us or we may go out for the day. Monday, four of us met at McDs and had coffee after their work hours. We chatted about 90 minutes. I've worked with Sue for 26 years, Dave about 23 years, Kristen only 2 years. These are people that I got to know and care about, while the others are pretty much people I just worked with and had no outside contact. |

I liked my job and chose to work until I was 71. The last couple of years though, I did cut back to 4 days and then 3 days. Then it was time to call it a day. I was offered a great deal to go in for one day but chose not to. |
