Back in February, 1987, I was laid off from U.S. Playing Cards after 18 years. The unemployment agency sent me to Clermont Senior Services for an interview. I sat down with Lois and liked her right off the bat.
We talked about 10 minutes and when I told her I had no experience driving, she just said, "Roger, I like you and I'm willing to give you a chance." That was 22 years ago and I have had great respect and love for her since.
One day we had a birthday carry-in at work for one of our drivers. I offered to get the cake since whe other driver was a good friend. Well, the cake was a little "naughty" and we tried to hide it from Lois not knowig how she would react.
Lois came in and asked what was going on (there was wome whooping and laughing over the cake) so she wanted to see the cake. She took a long look at the cake and burst out laughing and said "I'll take a piece!" And, we all had a good laugh!
The birthday boy and I still talk about it today.
