In nursing--"If you didn't write it down, it wasn't done."

Boy, that last line is surely true in the job of being a nurse.  I never wrote so much in my life as in nursing--not even at Blogit I think.

DIL married to son #2 used to need work sheets each week in her job and she used to give a candy to those who would get them to her on time. Didn't take long before she was getting all those work sheets in.

I find it very interesting to read about those times.

Pat it is surprising how work was carried out in those days. I suppose small businesses were just establishing themselves and more or less doing it from scratch. I liked your advice on the paper work.

Your Seattle tales make me think you might like a great book I read recently: Daniel James Brown, The Boys in the Boat. It's about Seattle's Washington University's Eight that ultimately won the gold medal at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. I know it's a different university and before your time, but it's a facinating glimpse of Seattle and that whole era...
