What did you want to do or think you were going to do when you finished high school?
I wanted and became a Hairdresser! In May 1970, J.C. Penney's Beauty Salon, Northwest Mall, sent a note to Mrs. Carpenter to suggest graduating students to interview to work in their beauty salon. I will never forget her calling me into her classroom and handing me the note: " Looking for hairdresser, J. C. Penney's Beauty Salon." "I'm sending you over there to interview." The manager of the shop wanted me to do a shampoo and set (just to make sure I knew the basics) and Janis Craig was gracious enough to go as my model. Started working there in June right after graduation. So excited the day Mrs. Carpenter handed me that note. Now, all these 44 years later, that day means everything to me: The beginning of my career! Thanks, Freda!
