Text
My first job was a Clerical Officer in the Antrim County Court House,Crumlin Road,Belfast. I was paid Σ8 a month. I had to give my wages into the running of the house. My mother gave me 2/6 per week pocket money. My friends from work included,Sheila,living now in Canada. We have been friends for 62 years. Sheila still visits me coming from Canada every other year. I also worked in the Royal Victoria Hospital and have many girl friends from there. Since my retirement we still exchange Christmas cards every year. A particular friend of mine from there is Ann McMaster,we've been friends for 25 years.
