In this audio clip, Trudy Hutchings recalls working in Jim Holmes’ shop:
[Trudy Hutchings] I suppose I was about 14 or so, and he asked Dad if I would come over and do inventory. I was over in that store three days over my Christmas holidays and I wrote down every single thing that was on every single shelf. And do you know what I was paid? He gave me a pair of slippers. That was what he paid me for three full days of work!
