I ’m talk in g about my boss

They've been so busy lately
they don't even know that
this week (M a y 1) is th e ir first
anniversary as owners of the

A nyhow . I heard them ta lk
ing about how sw ell the peo
ple in southern Oregon had
been to them and that they
were going to w o rk even
harder to serve them during
the coming year.
As chief g re m lin in the
back shop I second W a lly 's
and B ill's words . . . even
though I m ight occasionally
louse up a job in the back
