I glanced at the calendar and realized that 66 years ago I started my first real paying job and I got $15 a week, working 5 1/2 days. I remember the day of my interview - we had a blizzard and the snow was deep, but I wanted that job so I mushed my way through the snow and got to the office on time. We were in the midst of WWII and I was afraid the cardboard soles on my shoes would dissolve. (Bet you didn't know our shoes didn't have leather soles during the war!)
