I had the latest high tech equipment. I hung a bag over my shoulder. I believe that I was paid about 30 cents per hour. An hour and a half five days a week earned me about $15 per month. I can remember walking clear across Pomona (several miles) to the Education Office to pick up my check.
I decided that I should have a bike. I can remember a bike store in Pomona on West 2nd Street. Way in the back I picked out a Pierce Arrow to buy on time. I paid $6 per month for six months. I was so proud of that bike and used it a lot. I have a bike story to tell.
While working for the school I was carrying a load when my right leg just below the knee hit the sharp corner of a metallic object. Without cutting my pants a 2 inch gash opened up in my leg. I could lay my finger in the gash. I do not believe that the gash bled. It was strange. I guess that my leg was stressed from my load and the bump caused the gash to open up. It was nice that I did not cut my pants.
Can you see the scar? Papa Chance drove me to the doctor's office where several stitches were applied.
I could see that Papa Chance was concerned.
