With Mom at Hudson-Belk’s Mom and I decided to work a Christmas job at Hudson-Belk’s store in downtown Raleigh. Neither of us had worked in a store, although Mom did have experience as a bookkeeper. But I only babysat as a job. Mother worked in fine jewelry, and I worked the stationery and book department. The best part was getting up each day and heading off to work with my mother. Our day included taking a break together and having lunch either in the cafeteria upstairs or at one of the lunch counter’s of Woolworth’s or Kresge’s. The sad day came when Hudson-Belk’s left downtown Raleigh. My first job taught me confidence and the ability to take on a new experience, but the best part was being in a partnership with my mother.
