| HOT DOGS - 1963 My first job was hawking hot dogs at Minnesota Twins baseball games and Minnesota Vikings football games out in the elements at the Met Stadium in Bloomington. They sold for 25˘ a piece and I made 1.5˘ for each one that I sold. So on a good day I would make $1.20 for 3 hours walking and going up and down stairs. |
HOLIDAY INN -  1964 So getting the bellman job at 85˘/hr plus tips seemed like I had it made. My main activity was picking up and dropping off guests at the nearby airport plus totting suitcases. In 1966 I was promoted to desk clerk and I began wearing a sports jacket. 1967 I took on the night clerk job 11PM - 7AM and my time was spent doing the accounts paperwork (balancing the books). more... |
| HONEYWELL - 1967 I got the perfect job for me: Records Clerk. I worked with four other guys my age and we were responsible for storage and retrieval of millions of documents and computer cards. more... |
HAWAII - Spent 3 months on the Big Island in 1969 doing my Peace Corps training. Made a number of friends within the village of Ookala. We have visited them on three return trips. And the Fujiokas visited us in New Zealand. If we could afford it I would love to retire there, as the weather is perfect. more...
HOLY HELL - A two part play that Heasley and I wrote in 1970 and performed for the students at Queen Victoria School in Fiji. read it
HINDUSTANI - I was taught to speak Hindi. “Hum Hindistani may bot karo” and then what do they do when I get off the plane in Fiji? They send me to teach at a Fijian only (no Indians) school where I didn't know the language.

Tevita flew back in April for a week’s stay. After 3 months of no rain, it started the day he arrived and didn't stop until he left! He had a chance to visit a few friends and got out with us to do a little exploring. We went through Ruakuri Cave and checked out a waterfall. It must have been a rough time for Te who was not on the Net for the whole time.
