218. Retired Public Librarian

Mon Feb 25, 2013, 02:52 AM

Feb 2013

After college, I worked in market research for 2 yrs, traveling the U.S. interviewing housewives, mainly, about consumer products. Then worked in brand management for same company for 2 yrs.
Marriage, and raising 4 children and managing the household.
Part-time job delivering greeting cards to store clients.
Back to college for Master's in Library Science while working part-time in Historical Society.
Hired full-time for County library system as assistant manager/librarian, then branch manager at several successfully larger branches, until early retirement at 60. Hubby was already retired and though we traveled and were busy and had good times, he became ill off and on, eventually full-time. Hubby now deceased, so I follow DU and try to keep in contact with family near & far.
