Show NORMA ANDERSON DAY MAY 6, 2002 that I didn't like a lot. Some more than others because some of the gals I was really, really close to. And the one girl didn't have brothers and sisters and I was always like a sister to her, the girl from Montclair, New Jersey. And then this friend of mine that lives in Maryland now always says that I was just like a sister to her. BEC: I can see how that would happen when you're away from home and really come to depend on those people that you're around. That is something. Before we move from World War II, do you have any other experiences that stand out in your mind or things that are particularly memorable? NOR: Well, let 's see. No, but after I came home, my first job after I came home was working for Utah Oil Refining. BEC: What did you do there? NOR: I worked in the accounting department. Then I got married and moved to Boise and that was an experience that I don't dwell on, except I do have a wonderful son and a wonderful grandson now, which I wouldn't have if I hadn't gone up there. I have a very sweet, thoughtful daughter-in-law. But then I came back here and I went to work for the government again and I retired in January '85 with thirty-five-and-a-half years. BEC: Wow. Did you work in the same department all that time? NOR: With the Bureau of Reclamation, I started out in property and then I moved to the accounting department. BEC: But it was all within the Bureau of Reclamation? NOR: Well, I worked for the Idaho Military District in Boise, when I lived there. So that gave me five years with federal there. BEC: So you have over forty years? 35 |
