Dog sitter. Dishwasher. Lawn cutter of someone who retired as a General from the Pentagon and several other yards. House cleaner. Dog bather. Assistant Manager of a concession stand partnership which had stands at Idlewild Park in Reno, NV; Bower's Mansion in Washoe Valley, NV; and a skiing training program for Washoe county teens.

Also volunteered at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hospital in Reno, NV for a year of Saturday afternoons. This was in the critical care area where they had veterans from the Spanish American War through the Vietnam War. The Vietnam vet had fallen out of a helicopter as well as stuck a pool cue up his nostril at a pool hall. Someone bumped him and the pool stick went into his brain.

I did portraits of all the Veterans on that critical care area over that year.
