Lawn Care Family pg.4
When, School started in September, Mr. Johnson the lawn service man, had one of his sons’ starting High School. The young man wanted to work , if possible at one of our restaurants, on weekends and a couple of hours after school. My husband, Lee found this young man wanting to learn and do more to make more money. Seems he wanted to save enough money, so he could buy a bike! Trying to work after school required a lot of walking,(not very good transportation in those days), giving up a lot of hours he could be working.
So, my husband, Lee had me start looking for sales on bikes, since Christmas merchandise would soon be on the store shelves. There was a new “Super Discount Store,” just about ready to have a “Big Sale” and “Bikes” were on our list! Lee and I were there and ready to be some of the first shoppers, and we made a “Bee Line” right to the “Bike Department.”
We were “Lucky” to get just the right bike, just what the young man was wanting! We did not wait till Christmas to give him the bike, we took it to the restaurant with a big “RED” bow , because this was a gift that was needed now!
