Joan Oslin:  

I loved art classes and home economics, They were fun for me. I also loved to read and still do. The best part of school was home ec am art, I got to teach a class for one day in home ec, it was so fun.

We hitched out to California . We picked January to do this so it was freezing all accross the country. Some really nice person put in the year book that I was most likley to sell movies tickets, They were wrong, but not by much.In California, they have beer bars, and since my momma trained me early to pull beer from a tap in our cellar, I was already trained for the possition. I went back to school and took business classes when I was in my 30's and hav had several jobs as a secreatary, my last job was as a buyers assistant at a company that built remote control reconisance airplanes. I started to have back problem and carpel tunnel and went out on permanent disability at about 45. I was 50 when I finally found help for my chronic depression.
