Hi,
Yes. It also failed to mention that, when the busy season in the millinery business hit (in the months just before Easter), I was allowed and encouraged to help. And rewarded for my help. I suspect that I was one of the few nine year olds that knew how to use a circular and reciprocating knife fabric cutter, how to hot block hats, how to run an edger, how to use a tack machine, etc., etc.
As I said, not an autobiography -- which would probably bore me only slightly less to write than it would anyone else to read.
