I spent close to 20 years with a couple of advertising agencies, in the field of market research. Nothing really very exciting, but a horde of fascinating co-workers.
Followed by nearly 20 years in a small family-owned (maximum number of employees over that time was 10) travel agency. The owner/boss was exceedingly opinionated, and wasn't shy about telling clients not to go to a place (Jamaica was her main target), nor about why! She was hard to work for, but I learned one h*** of a lot about travel sites around the world.
My most satisfying job was the mostly part-time U.S. Army Reserve duty I had over the years. I served a total of some 29 years, rising from the lowliest of the low, the drafted recruit (1959) to a reasonably respectable Lieutenant Colonel, retiring in 1988. I accummulated a total of 11 years of active duty, which now helps me to fully enjoy The Villages' lifestyle!
