Maryellen's Story
After graduation I got a job working for the Yellow Pages in Haddonfield. I was planning on going into the COnvent but things didn't work out. Not really being an office person , I applied for a job with N.J. Bell. I got the job as an opperator working frist out of Collingswood and then going to Camden. I was Miss United Way sponsered by The Telephone Company. After 5 years I was tired of working all the shift work and left bell. While on Strike I met my husband and we married in 1969. Our daughter Stacy, was in February of 1970. What a joy. We purchased a hiouse in MAgnolia, N.J. that same year. In 1971 my son Billy was born. Another joy.

ot all that I asked for and more. I then had to go back to work to support my 2 children and myself and ended up at Krouse Olds. in Cherry Hill. I think the only thing that I really remember about that job was the day the Garden State Race Course burnt to the ground. I only stayed with that job for a year. Back to Ma Bell. I became an operator again for a short time and then went on to Repair Service. From 1978 to 2002 I stayed with Bell serving in different jobs until I retired. I still livew in the same house in Magnolia. 40 years now. My 2 children are grown with families of their own. 6 grandchildren. Brian, Thimothy, Kiersten, Brandon,Peyton and Grant! Talk about Angels in your life!!!! I now have a part time job caring for a 88 year old lady with Alsyhimers. She is just a sweet heart. My life is full and rich and there is nothing I would change except that time is going too quickley and I am not ready to go yet!
