Employment History:

1968-1969 I worked during the summer of 1968 and every Saturday during my senior year of high school for a dentist, Dr Virgil D Chenney, whose office was in the Medical Dental Building in the same block as the Frederick & Nelson Department Store Fifth and Stewart downtown Seattle. I was provided a uniform and was paid $1.50 per hour. He trained me to be a dental assistant. I would bring patients into and out of the exam rooms, sterilize the utensils, put bibs on patients, schedule appointments, clean the dental room after every patient, vacuum the waiting room at lunchtime, receipt incoming money, run deposits to the bank and type the accounts receivable statements doing certain letters of the alphabet every Saturday. On my birthday (12/7/68) Dr Chenney increased my pay to $1.60 per hour. He was a perfectionist in everything that was done in his office. He reviewed every statement that I typed before it went into the mail. He was very strict and was rough with his staff. He had a hard time retaining staff. He always was behind with his patients. His waiting room was always full. His patients were mainly oriental and some paid him in other ways than cash. He had stomach ulcers and was not supposed to smoke cigars which he did everyday at lunch! His wife would call me and insist that I encourage him to eat the lunch she had sent with him which was rich in cheese and fruit. Usually if I was there that day, he'd give me his lunch because he went out to lunch everyday! Dr and his wife belonged to the Seattle Athletic Club and he used to take me to lunch there every so often. In June, 1969 I graduated from High School and moved onto my second job. Dr had a heart attack in Sept. His wife called me at college and pleaded with me to return to his practice but I declined. (This section to be continued)
