Dear Family,Hello! Well, About 10:00 A.M. they called us over to building #10. They are laying off about 2,000 people. We were about the 140th ones.
Tuesday we go file for unemployment. I looked it up in Daddy's Baldwins books -- those blue things. We should get about $46 a week. A slight cut in pay!! Ho, Hum.
They didn't even let us work Friday -- I guess they even sent some people home at noon.
I took the S.A.T. Oh, golly. I hope they said I just have to take it -- not PASS it!! School seats are harder & more uncomfortable than I even remembered them!
Oh, Daddy, I have a paper from George Fox College for you to sign. It's about finances.
I think I'm going to get a paper-route or sell Amway or something. Make me a little money on the side. Without the unemployment people finding out!
Grandma went to Leesburg with Mrs. Moore today to eat. I told her she had her nerve. She said she had invited me first but I had already made plans. Oh. Well. Next Sunday - - -
I'm enjoying my paid vacation. See you all when you get here.
Love,
Bert
