I enjoyed that too. It is nice to hear about the employment highs and lows from other TOTVers.
I was working my last day at the Bower's Manson concession stand in 1983 before heading out to start my MA studies at the University of Denver Graduate School of Librarianship and Information Management when this happened less than a mile to the north.

I had to take an hour detour to get back home going all around the Washoe Valley as the mudslide blocked my quick way home.
This made the news in MA where my Grandmother was who knew about my working at Bower's Mansion.

If you are not aware of my other stories on TOTV I am kind of a Perils of Pauline person. Not sure why such bad things happen close to me.
