[Magdalen] He blew the job interview

[Lynn Ronkainen]

My parents had a similar  story... Early in their marriage my mom met a woman at the office where she worked whose husband was employed in the same field as my dad and had recently lost his job.  Plans were made to invite the couple to at my parent's home. When the guests arrived it turned out my dad had fired the husband the week before. If memory serves, they stayed for dinner. This was in 1950.
