I had taken classes in various business subjects. In that last year of high school，we could do a“co-op”. That meant we could work part of the time instead of going to school. It would count as credit towards our diploma. The place I got a job was at a men's tailor shop. The owners were a very nice older German couple. They had two other men working for them，too. One of the men had had brain surgery for cancer. He had a big，long scar all around the top of his head. He told me all about it. He was always happy and full of fun. I thought he was very brave！ The tailor shop made suits to order. One of the salesmen would measure the man，and the customer would choose a fabric and style he（or his wife）liked. The people in the back of the shop would then cut and sew the suit. The suits cost a lot of money. There were also suits already made that the customer could buy instead if they wished. They could also rent suits or tuxedos for weddings or parties. I worked at a little desk. I answered the phone，wrote the letters，filed the papers and did some bookkeeping. It was about a mile walk from my school to work. I passed many clothes shops. That wasn't good because I spent a lot of the money that I earned in those shops. I worked at the tailor shop for almost a year. It was a good experience and helped me to get next job with the United States Navy. That was fun，too！
