A long time back , I was between interests , I had sold my garage and I was farming . A situation cropped up at the bank, a new manager , he promptly cut my line of credit and a few other things ,more at the end of the story about him . At the time we had five little Copeys here in tow , it wasn’t a pleasant time in our lives .We heard there was work at a local strawberry patch ,pulling weeds . Now work started at sun up and went till sun down 6.75 a hour /seven days a week . It was back breaking work pulling weeds ,the owner fed us lunch and paid us cash at the end of every day . When the berries were ready for picking , we picked by the flat, eight quarts of berries to a flat , we were paid 5.00 a flat . On a good day you could make a hundred dollars picking , so me and Mrs Copey would clear 200 bucks .and the little Copeys ate more than they picked . After the berry season was over we went farm to farm putting up hay for other farmers . It was a long stretch that year but we did cover our end of things and were better people for it . Oh yes the bank manager , for the “few other things he did ‘ he was arrested and removed from the bank .The bank officials compensated me for what had happened ,I still see that bank manager , he repairs pedal bikes at a local store . In another three four weeks I will go pick a flat of strawberries for us ~ Copey
