Would You Hire This Man?

 

Written By Florence Kelsey

 

Below is C.I.'s "resume" of his employment years.  It is just something to add some humor.  All of it is true; although unbelievable for him not to have been fired from any of these jobs.  Can anyone top such a record?  No one but C.I. can "boast" of such a job history.  Ron, Diane, and Paul liked to ask him about his work record.  After all of these jobs, retirement was a blessing.
