Show HAZEL ON TOTT 18,2 4 him in El Paso. He came into New York and then went to El Paso and got a room m the hotel. BEC: Right, and that's where you met up? HAZ: Yeah. They had a base there, so he had to check in. BEC: Right. And then was he discharged after that or did he stay in? HAZ: Well, he stayed for a while, but then they got to where they either had to permanently join the Army or get out. We'd both worked in the insurance adjusters office, and he had a friend, Joe, that couldn't go in the Army. Joe had gone to Albuquerque and bought a business and he wanted Kendall to come in with him when he got back, because Kendall was an all-around adjuster. He could do the fire and casualty and the automobile. Anyway, Kendall sent me money and I saved me money and when he got home we could buy half interest in what Joe Mason had going, so he bought half interest in the business in Albuquerque. Then they opened up an office in Farmington, so he said he'd go up and manage that end of it and get Farmington and Colorado and that section of it. So that's how I ended up in Farmington, New Mexico, because he took that area. BEC: How long did you live in Farmington? HAZ: Oh, gosh. Fifty years. BEC: Is that right? HAZ: I lived there forever. BEC: So you were in that business your whole career, then. HAZ: Yeah then we sold it off after he died. ' BEC: When did he die? 20 |
