Lost and found I thought my first day of working on a public job was to be my last. I had been a stay-at-home mom, and two of my children were in school. My then 5-year-old daughter decided she wanted to go to kindergarten like some of her friends. So, I decided to get a job so I could send her. (Back in the 1970s, there was no public kindergarten.) I found a job working at a sewing plant, USI in Farmville. The very first day when I got ready to clock out, I found I had lost my watch. My husband had given it to me when I was 16, and it was special to me. I vowed not to come back the next day, but my husband encouraged me to finish out the week. I never found my watch, but by the end of that week that little pay check looked mighty good. After 35 years, I’m still working and I’ve had several watches, but I remember the one I lost.
