7. I was robbed at gun point

Apr 2015

in the mid 70's.

I was not asked to repay the $700.00.

We were instructed to never risk our lives

if a burglary occurred.

If the man had robbed us 1 hour earlier, his

take would have been $3,000.00

I went to court and testified against

the man who robbed the restaurant.

He wife was in court on the same day

for stealing someone's purse.

The man was caught robbing a donut shop later that evening

because of the description I gave of him and his car.

P.S. My boss propositioned me with a trip

to Bermuda with the returned funds. I declined.

Crazy life.
