A plant serviceman, cleans, trims, prunes, waters and exchanges rented plants. I’m dusting a fiddle-leaf fig plant at the Trans-America building observation floor. I’m totally content with what I’m doing now.

The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is not a fashion show organization and doesn’t have any male members. But we do have occasional fashion shows as a fund raiser for fellowships and scholarships for young college age women. Membership in the A.A.U.W. is open to any woman who has a B.A. from an accredited college or university. Our organization isn’t “political” in that we get out in the commuity and do things. We have candidate nights, status of women and legislation reports, observer corps to attend all public meetings, consciousness raising for members. One of our bigget events is the annual book sale. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California

I used to be a chef and my partner was a garbage foreman. He was making $107 a week and going crazy. Now we sell apples and oranges from the back of a pickup truck. You meet people of every race–rich and poor, doctors and dentists. Everyone loves good fruit. We’re making a living and enjoying ourselves.

My goal at the end of the race is to beat at least one ten-year-old kid or one little old lady. 10K race, Livermore, California
