Well done Beth. I really enjoyed reading this take of your days when I remember the days. Sad about the old boy taking his life. He probably beat the ordeal before the mob did.
Thanks for sharing. Good move on the motel bit.

I know I've told you over and over again, but I really enjoy reading these memoirs.

One of the art projects I was assigned to work on involved illustrating a book that was a memory book of art and photographs for a lady who was a professor at a black collage. (college)

I had been shocked when printing companies where I worked printed such menus. (companies)

This diary entry is very interesting.

Noticed two typos:

I had been shocked when printing comepanys (companies) where I worked printed such menus.

We learned that Henry had gotten deeply in debt by gambling, and apparently, he was about to loose (lose) everything.

How sad, your boss feeling so hopeless that he took his life like that. When you said what you did about the separate checks my first thought was it's a scam or there are strings attached. I'm glad I was wrong. I think a lot of boys go through the destructive phase. I know mine did. A lot of times it was to torment his sisters, hear them scream. The girls had ways to get even, lol. Your chapter is very well-written, interesting. I look forward to reading more.

I am giving you a five star rating because your prose is interesting and well written. I enjoy reading your posts.
However, I wonder if you have someone who can read your writing with a "cold eye" before you post. You seem to miss your typos. 1) to hone to boost their learning (something seems wrong here) 2) ready to pretend in was in a wreck (it?) 3) he was expected (expecting?) 4) loose everything (lose?) Otherwise, very nicely done. Would love to give you six stars.

    Thank you so much for the review and for giving me the five stars in spite of the errors. For some reason I do fail to see my own mistakes I do appreciate you pointing them out and I've corrected them plus two others

Here is a big, broad slice of real life taking place before our very eyes as it were, so effectively is it conveyed -life's tapestry has so much detail - thanks for sharing

A new job, and, as I see, a rather eventful one. This Henry was quite a character! Drinking, gambling, having an affair on the side, trying to get you involved as well and in the end killing himself! Wow!
And then you got the safe open miraculously. Together with Doris, you had this psychic thing going before. Hmmm, strange eh?

Good reading again, Beth!

    Thank you Marjon. You are right. He was a character and there were some interesting people on that job. This got released before I was finished. I hope you didn't start reading before I promoted it.
