Patricia Miller:  

Greetings to anyone reading this.............. This will be a very informal format, easy to read. I cannot believe that it's been 50 years since we left the "hallowed" halls of Mervo. I was at the dentist a few days ago and told him of the reunion. He's in his early 60's and asked me where I went to school, I told him and then I asked if he had seen the movie Hairspray, indeed he had, also the play. I told him John Waters wrote his story about Mervo and Buddy Dean after our school. That was US, weren't we great? WORK HISTORY: My first job was at Spiegel Catalog (1962-1978). I was a hired as a credit clerk and left as a manager. All the store closed in 1978. In 1979, I was hired as a secretary to the district manager of the local Acme stores.The company began closing all of the stores in 1982, alongwith our office. Do you notice a pattern here? In 1982, I was hired by Angelo D'Anna to be a secretary for the personnel manager at the Holabird Ave. office. It was a really great job, but in 1984, my mother passed away very suddenly and after the funeral, I decided to leave and take care of my children (12 and 5). It took them 4 months to find someone and they gave me quite a send off. They were really strict in their office, but as long as you did you job, everything was fine. In 1986, I began to work part time for Budget Rent A Car in Towson. After a year, I was asked to work full time, which I did until 1993. It was a pretty stressful job. I kept all the records for the car and truck rental, besides, all the receipts for the towing company. The owner of all the companies is a personal friend of my husband and I, but I couldn't take the 50 hour work week. I walked out and never looked back. I've always had allot of "spunk". FAMILY: Married Don Miller in 1967, still together. Two sons, 41, 34 and stepson 53. Four granddaughters, 25, 15, 22 months and 4 months. Mr. "M" and I are both retired and it's allot of fun around this old house. If you believe that, I have a nice bridge to sell you. INTEREST: Avid Gardener, helping homeless animals. PETS: 1 German shepherd dog and...Expand for more
