It's so interesting to go through Mom's things and think about all of the experiences that she had in her life. I found the card that she received when she went to comptometer school. When she graduated from high school at the age of 16, she didn't have the money to go to college and become a nurse as she would have liked. It was during the Depression. Comptometer school offered her the quickest course that would prepare her for a job. She was a whiz on that comptometer! Don't you remember Monica, Eileen and Bob how she would bring work home and go so fast on that comptometer? We loved to play around on the machine and she would pay us to double check her work.
