Show DOROTHY J. BEUTLER MARCH 26, 2001 BBL: So that was the logical explanation. the law says that It's twenty-one to forty-five. So you were tnterested In JOining the W AACs? DOR: Yeah, yeah. I thought It would be-l mean If the guys are gone, why not us? Here' s a receipt for n1y two dollars. I don't know If you had to pay for the bus or what. BBL: DOR: BBL: That was the Forty-two Keys Club? Yes. Let's see now, we were at, the radio tube plant closed and then you went to work, you think, for the bank? DOR: That's when I went to work then for Federal Reserve Bank, and In bookkeeping. I enJoyed just working. It was nice. I copied checks and then you'd have to go over, let's see, I know they wanted to give me a higher JOb doing something else but I didn't want It. I liked the filing, I liked the-now I don't know how long I worked there. Arvella applied and they hued her and we had always wanted to work together and we were so happy and then after her physical thing cmne back, they unhued her because she's always had vancose veins and they asked you If you have any problen1s, any troubles. She smd, "Oh, JUSt vancose veins." And they wrote that down and because of Insurance they would not hire her She should not have smd that. BBL: To get the JOb you had to have a physical. DOR: No No You JUSt answered a piece of paper and she thought If she wrote It down they'd take care of then1 (laughs), the Insurance would handle things. So she went and applied at what was called Fust National Bank, and she didn't wnte It there and so she was hired. And I don't know why I quit Federal Reserve but I went to work at 24 |
