PBY Memorial Foundation celebrates lucky 13

Hats off to the Scorpions Appreciation night honors VAQ-132

By K ATHY REED

T

September’s meeting of the PBY Memorial Foundation at CPO Club in Oak Harbor had two reasons to celebrate on Tuesday — and both were marked by the number “13.”

The PBY members had the happy occasion to celebrate their 13th year as an organization. And the group was also remembering the contributions made by the USS Salisbury Sound (AV-13), homeported at Seaplane base in the 1960’s.

“We thought it pretty neat that it was our 13th anniversary, and the ship’s designator is AV-13,” said Onee Hedeen, PBY Memorial

he city of Oak Harbor certainly appreciates the military presence of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, but every once-in-a-while it’s nice to throw a party to show it.

The Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League joined forces with Whidbey Island Bank last week to pay tribute to the Scorpions of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 132 in an appreciation event held at the bank’s branch on Bayshore Drive.

The bank was packed with members of the Navy League, members of the bank’s staff, local dignitaries, NAS Whidbey’s commanding officer and the Scorpions themselves. VAQ-132 was the first squadron at NAS Whidbey to transition to the EA-18G Growlers and was the first Growler squadron to deploy to Iraq.

The event was a great opportunity for members of the Scorpions to connect with members of the community.

“As a past Navy spouse, sometimes you get blinders on and you don’t get to meet people from the community,” said Navy League co-president Beth Munns. “But this is what makes you feel like home.

Trust me, if you do need a shoulder or to find out where something is, the community is what’s going to help you out.”

“You know our city loves the Navy,” said Bruce Van Tassell, of Whidbey Island Bank. “We couldn’t have it better. We have the best people in the world living here, their families are here. We all care

THIS EDITION A military appreciation event honoring the Scorpions of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 132 drew a good crowd last Thursday evening at Whidbey Island Bank in Oak Harbor. KATHY REED/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND about you and we’ve got people running our city that feel the same way.”

Whether it was the good food, the ambiance or just the spirit of camaraderie, the men and women of VAQ-132 definitely felt welcomed.

Information Systems Technician Third Class Kristina Christian said she was enjoying the experience.

“It makes me feel happy the military gets to participate in an event like this,” she said. “I wish we could go to more. The community is so welcoming.”

Christian, whose father was a Lt. Commander in the Navy, grew up in Hawaii. NAS Whidbey is her second duty station.

“I’ve never seen a community so connected and welcoming to the military,” she said.

“Oak Harbor is very Navy-friendly,” said Aviation Machinist’s Mate First Class Marc Weber, who’s been in the Navy for nine years and at NAS Whidbey for a year. “It’s one of those communities that actually appreciates the military.”

Weber said that appreciation was especially evident when “the mayor shows up and shakes your hand.”

For his part, Mayor Jim Slowik say he was the one who was honored to be there.

“I think these guys have been written about in every paper out there,” said Slowik. “It’s an honor to meet these people. They’re real heroes.”

One of the high points of the evening was when VAQ-132 commanding officer, Cmdr. Jay Matzko, spoke about the squadron’s unexpectedly long deployment.

“Our mission is to do our country’s bidding when we’re told,” Matzko said.

“They said ‘Go to Iraq and do good work there,’ so we were in Al Asad, Iraq ... and they say ‘you’re gonna do six months in this place.’ Alright, we fall into a routine, things are happening, we’re doing great work, all these sailors here are getting everything ready for us, we’re flying combat missions every day.”

With just six weeks left to go in their deployment, said Matzko, the squadron was ordered to Aviano Air Base, Italy.

his summer, Dustin lost his wedding band in the Penobscot River at the base of Mt. Katahdin. I give him credit for keeping it as long (12 years) as he did. A person who loses just one shoe on a regular basis cannot be expected to keep up with a 5 mm piece of gold. Interestingly, however, it took only one month for Dustin to forget that he needed a replacement.

I seemed to be the only one with AMILY “get new wedding band” at the top IFE of my To-Do list.

Once the ARAH kids were back in school, we MILEY made a date of it. Naturally, memories arose of our first time. We were living in Pensacola, Fla., and we bought our rings at a small, local jeweler downtown.

We had always intended to have them engraved, but depending on who you ask, that never happened. I remember eating Mexican food for lunch afterward and strolling down Palafox Street hand-in-hand.

Our second trip was not so leisurely. Lindell would be out of preschool by 11:30 a.m., and Dustin still had to go to work. Going to buy a wedding band seemed more like a necessity than an event.

We walked into the jeweler and found the case filled with men’s rings. There, Dustin picked out what seemed to be the first thing he saw.

Let me backtrack and tell you that Dustin’s old ring was completely ordinary. Dustin, you could argue, is ordinary. His closet is filled with striped shirts in various shades of blue. He never wears anything besides plain jeans (always the same cut; always the same shade of denim) or khaki pants. He has had the same brown leather belt since he was 21.

Going to buy shoes with Dustin is a mild form of torture. He tries on every shoe at every store in the entire city, deliberates for weeks, then, ultimately, ends up buying a pair that looks and fits exactly like his old pair.

Every Halloween Dustin wears the same costume: Where’s Waldo.

So forgive me when I tell you that I laughed out loud at the ring Dustin first chose. It was thick, with squared sides and modern etching. The model on the poster was young, hip and dressed in all black.

“What, you don’t think it’s ‘me’?” Dustin asked when he saw my shock.

I nudged him toward the style I knew — because I’ve been shoe-shopping with him — he’d ultimately end up with: the one that looks just like the old ring.

“Do you think those look like something I’d wear?” he asked.

“You wore one just like it for 12 years.”

The salesperson measured Dustin’s finger and slid the correct size onto his hand.

Beads of sweat formed on Dustin’s brow. His breathing was shallow. “I think it’s stuck,” he said.

He pulled at the ring, jamming it against his large knuckle, until the skin on his finger was red and swollen.

The salesperson assured him it was a good fit.

Naturally, I thought Dustin’s struggle — his panic — was symbolic. I watched him suffer.

Once he got the ring over his knuckle and off his finger, he laid the band on the glass counter and said he could never wear anything like that.

Should have thought of that 12 years ago, Dusty.

The salesperson looked at me thoughtfully. Then she gave Dustin a ring one size larger.

That one was too big. Dustin was afraid he’d lose it.

Size, it seems, does matter.

Dustin was completely conflicted: “If I get the smaller one, what if my finger swells in the heat? Or if I get the larger one, what will happen in the winter?”

I reminded him that I’ve worn the same ring through three pregnancies and multiple stages of larger- and smaller-sized clothing. I took off my band and showed him that my finger has literally grown around my rings.

Foundation secretary. “So we thought we’d celebrate two things at once this month,” she said.

The group’s guest speaker was member and retired Navy Commander Wes Westlund, a chaplain who served aboard the vessel, a seaplane tender, from 1965 to 1967.

Special guests from as far away as Canada and Texas attended Wes Westlund the meeting.

Foundation member Win Stites called the meeting to order, led the pledge of allegiance, and before introducing Westlund, reminisced about the group’s beginnings back in 1998.

“We’ve grown from 14 members then, at that first meeting, to 33-plus today,” said Stites. He noted that some of the founding members were no longer with them today.

“At least half of them used to drive from Seattle each month, to attend our meetings,” said Stites. “In their honor, we thought we’d have a cake made to celebrate all their efforts.”

He referred to the decorated sheet cake, bearing the number 13. The cake also bore the likeness of the USS Salisbury Sound, affectionately known as “Sally”.

Westlund shared with the group some of his experiences while in the Navy. He remembers, very vividly, the severe earthquake and resulting tsunami in Alaska in 1964.

“There were many killed — and the devastation, you cannot imagine,” he said.

Natural disasters such as that, not to mention the trauma of war, are why good chaplains are so essential, said Ron Hancock, who served aboard the USS Salisbury Sound as a Navy airman in the 1960’s.

“Things happened that made me question my faith at times,” said Hancock.

“It meant so much to me to have a good Christian chaplain to help those of us who were struggling with our faith.”

Melvin Beck, who served as a Navy Ensign aboard the seaplane tender, recounted his memories of a severe storm that took place once while he was officer of the deck.

In a more humorous vein, he told the group that every time the ship pulled into Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, “Radio Hanoi would report that we’d been sunk.”

Another warm-hearted

remembrance came in the form of a letter read aloud to the group.

Former Navy seaman Mark Webb, who served on the seaplane tender, was also personally acquainted with Westlund.

Webb’s letter recounted personal recollections of Westlund, as well as giving a general thank you to Oak Harbor and the PBY Foundation, “for helping keep the memory of the PBY Catalina (seaplane) alive.”

Out-of-town guest Lesley Bond, from Wichita Falls, Texas, served on those PBY’s from 1944 to 1946.

It was Bond’s first trip back to Whidbey Island in 65 years, he said.

PBY Vice Chairman William Stein presented Bond with not only a PBY commemorative coin, but also a PBY cap, as mementoes of his visit here.

“It feels good to be back up here,” said Bond. “The country here is just beautiful.”

OUR VIEWS

I’m running out of shoes

I have mentioned our puppy, Sophie, in the past — adjusting to having a puppy in the house again, how our blended family of felines have united in a common cause against her — but have I mentioned the difficulties of puppy teething?

Well, actually I do recall mentioning how she was able to extract my husband’s new bank card, and only his new bank card, from his wallet and use it as a chew toy.

We experienced a blessed lull in the whole teething issue for KATHY seven weeks, when our adorable pooch suffered a broken leg REED and had to bear the indignity of wearing the cone of shame. She couldn’t get her teeth close enough to most things to do any damage.

Now, however, the cone is gone and she is enjoying sinking her teeth into pretty much everything.

She does seem to have some favorites, like our coffee table and the stairway banister.

Shoes, apparently, are another delicacy and a particular favorite among puppies. In particular, my shoes. I find this perplexing for a couple of reasons: I don’t think I have smelly feet, especially when compared to my husband’s and my step-son’s; and I don’t walk around in places with smells one would assume would be attractive to canines.

I have learned, albeit slowly, to remember to put my shoes in high places when I remove them in areas that aren’t near a closet. Yet, she has learned how to climb things in order to get to them. To date, I have lost four pairs of shoes completely, and there are bite marks in several others. I don’t have a lot of shoes to begin with, so that puts a serious dent in my shoe wardrobe.

I know she will grow out of this and I know it is ultimately my fault for not watching her like a hawk and for being too lazy to put my shoes away properly. But if I show up for an assignment with nothing on my feet, you’ll know what happened.

Coupons: The hip, modern way to save

By MELANIE HAMMONS

T

Whidbey Crosswind

hey’re not just your mother’s, or grandmother’s, coupons anymore. And that’s only one of the revelations you’ll learn about coupon user groups on Whidbey Island. Today’s couponers include men and women, young and mature, and in Oak Harbor, military and civilian.

Meet Amy Hannold, otherwise known to local coupon club members as “Whidbey’s Frugalista.” She heads up the North Whidbey Coupon Club, is married to retired Chief Petty Officer Rick Hannold, who served 21 years in the Navy and is the mother of two children, Grace and Ben. The club has been in existence for nearly a year.

“I was couponing Hannold said one of the before couponing aims of the club could be was cool.” summed up in the motto, “Live a fuller life at half the – Amy Hannold price.”

“I was couponing before couponing was cool,” she said. “But one of the things that’s changed over the years is that a lot of the footwork and matching can now be done by technology.”

Membership Opportunities

Shari Harrison, a member of the North Whidbey Coupon Club, organizes coupon insert pages during the group’s meeting at the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce.

Opportunity to save

MELANIE HAMMONS/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND

Attend a meeting of the Whidbey Coupon Club, and you’ll find an opportunity for classes addressing everything from pantry organization to tips for meal planning, not to mention helpful websites that guide you into shopping for savings on most anything you can name. Armed with information, club participants go forth to not only save money on family grocery budgets, but time as well.

You’ll meet people such as Janett Dekle, wife of Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Fuel) Second Class George Dekle, and mother of a 3- and 7-year-old. She and her family are recent transplants to Oak Harbor. Asked about why she participates in couponing, Dekle offered a couple of reasons.

“I just happen to like getting freebies, for one,” she said.

Dekle said she also likes the adrenaline rush that can come with saving $30 to $40 on a shopping trip.

“That’s a big reason a lot of younger people are getting into couponing these days,” she said.

Today’s couponers also include people like Shari Harrison, whose husband, Bob, is a retired Navy pilot.

“I had couponed for years, but this class (Good Meals, Better Deals: How to Spend Less on Groceries), taught me a lot,” said Harrison.

Hannold has been actively working as a money-saving mentor since 2004. Since then, she said, her main goal has been to help people eliminate obstacles to couponing.

Addressing the myths about couponing is a key way they accomplish that.

“For us, it doesn’t necessarily mean that we are forced to shop exclusively out of the coupon insert pages, nor does it mean you have a virtual mini-mart in your house,” said Hannold.

And although media and popular culture abound with shows about shoppers scoring fantastic, too-good-tobe-true deals, Hannold describes the focus of Whidbey Coupon Club as being something altogether different.

“We like to focus on three things: Taking care of your family, being prepared for an emergency, and being a blessing to others,” she said.

Hannold.

“I’m living alone right now, and trying to eat healthier while staying on budget,” said Neumann. “One of my goals is to mass-prepare more meals, say, enough for 3 to 4 people, and freeze the extras, to eliminate eating out so much.”

Hannold notes that while some of their club members are completely new to couponing, others, especially military wives transferring in from other parts of the country, come from coupon clubs elsewhere. They bring along their own ideas and tips, which is all to the betterment of the Whidbey Coupon Club, as far as she is concerned.

“It’s been interesting watching new people come into the club, and form networks,” said Hannold.

Unique savings for military “Military families on Whidbey Island have a unique opportunity to make the most of their income, while minimizing their expenses,” she continued. “Between the military coupons available to them, the commissary and Exchange privileges and the coupon club, they have all sorts of tangible ways to meet their goals. That may help them buy a house, a car, all while reducing debt.”

And while all those are commendable goals, they’re not the most significant outcome, noted Hannold.

“Saving money is just the foot in the doorway to lots of other good things,” she said. “It can be a gateway to new friendships, and a great spirit of camaraderie.”

Harrison offered another valuable side benefit, based upon her own personal experience.

“Have you ever had someone ring your doorbell, asking for a donation to a food drive - and you had nothing to offer? By planning ahead, and shopping wisely, you’ll find you not only can take care of your own family’s needs, you’re in a position to extend that same care toward others in need.”

The next class of Good Meals, Better Deals: How to Spend Less on Groceries meets Saturday, Oct. 22. Cost is $10, which covers the cost of class materials plus door prizes.

To register, RSVP Hannold at nwcou ponclub@comcast. net. Call 675-2338 for information on the North Whidbey Coupon Club.

MEET THE PRESS

Organization is key Hannold says one of first things the club seeks to teach new coupon users is good organizing skills. That is greatly assisted by access to the Internet at the group’s meetings at Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce. Available hand-outs include generic grocery shopping lists, coupon lists and other online resources.

Right now the club is predominantly military, but it is open to all, says Hannold, since people are universally interested in saving money.

Skywarrior Theater begins Thursday night movies The Skywarrior Theater on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island will begin showing movies on Thursday nights, starting Oct. 6.

The move is in response to guest feedback via ICE (customer) surveys and Quality of Life Council comments, according to Morale, Welfare and Recreation business activities manager Deborah Brockway.

“The current plan is to test the Thursday market through the end of the year, monitor attendance and adjust accordingly,” said Brockway. “The target audience on Thursdays is most likely the single sailor so they’ll program movies to appeal to that market.”

The first Thursday movie to be shown is “Our Idiot Brother,” which is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Oct. 6. Cost for Thursday night movies is $2 for adults, $1 for youth ages 6 to 11.

The change does not affect movies normally scheduled each Friday through Sunday.

The Skywarrior Theater is home to the Navy’s first digital projector with 3-D capabilities. Call 257-5537 for information.

Sailors began packing everything up for the move.

“We took off in the middle of the night, landed in the morning, when it was light, and we were exhausted,” Matzko, who was the squadron’s executive officer at the time, described. “So were the sailors.

Guess what they did? They unpacked everything. Twelve hours from when I landed, the skipper (Cmdr. Jeffrey Craig) led the first strikes over the shores of Tripoli.”

According to Matzko, they were told they’d be in Aviano for about two weeks, that the Scorpions’ deployment would end at six months and they would all go home.

Everyone started packing again, only to be told they would be there two more months.

“We can sit there and whine about it, or

these people, these guys and gals, picked it up and said ‘Let’s fire it up, let’s do it again,’” said Matzko. “Two months later, the exact same thing happened. We are packed up, ready to go, we are leaving, we have a squadron coming in (on the USS Enterprise (CVN-65)). The Enterprise is steaming our way and then we get a message saying ‘The Enterprise is steaming south.’ South. That’s, um, not this way. I’m no rocket surgeon, but I don’t think they’re coming here.”

In the end, the Scorpions finished out an eight-month deployment, with their sense of humor obviously intact, as well as pride in a job well done and in the sailors of VAQ-132.

“We supported operations 24-hours-a day in Iraq and we were doing the same thing in Libya and it’s on the back of these sailors here that we got to do that,” said Matzko. “And to that I’ll say ‘ba-boom’.”

A chocolate and vanilla confection commemorates the 69th birthday of NAS Whidbey Island. The cake was baked and decorated by Culinary Specialist Seaman Jazmin Rodriguez, who volunteered for the job.

WN

Naval Air Station Whidbey Island marked its 69th birthday Sept. 21 at a cake-cutting ceremony at the Admiral Nimitz Hall Galley.

Commanding officer Capt. Jay Johnston was on hand, speaking very briefly to freshman class Reserve Officer Training Corps candidates from the University of Washington who came to NAS Whidbey to observe the event.

“This is the 69th birthday of NAS Whidbey Island, but it’s also the 100th anniversary of naval aviation, so we’re glad to have you here to help celebrate,” Johnston told the officer candidates.

The cake, baked and decorated by Culinary Specialist Seaman Jazmin Rodriguez, was chocolate and vanilla, and featured a hand-sculptured EA-6B Prowler in one corner.

Rodriguez volunteered to make the cake, but said she was a little nervous.

“This was only the second cake I’ve ever done,” she said.

After a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday” by the ROTC candidates, Capt.

Johnston, Rodriguez and Midshipman Candidate Levi Ellis cut into the confection, which was then served to those having lunch at the galley.

NAS Whidbey Island was commissioned Sept.

21, 1942, under the command of Capt. Cyril Thomas Simard. The base’s first squadrons of aircraft were the F4F Wildcats. NAS Whidbey currently has 19 active duty squadrons and two Ready Reserve squadrons in addition to a Search and Rescue Unit and has more than 50 tenant commands.

Sailors of VAQ-132 line up to enjoy the buffet at a military appreciation event in honor of the Scorpions.

The Squadron was the first to deploy in the EA-18G Growler, and returned in July following an eightmonth deployment to Iraq and Italy.

Piracy, politics and power Local author shares the story of a 19th century Marine

By K ATHY REED

H

Whidbey Crosswind

istory echoes in the events of today. Pirate attacks and recent battles in Libya are newsmakers now, the events reminiscent of the Barbary Coast Wars in the early 1800s.

One of the heroes of the First Barbary War is the subject of a new book, “O’Bannon: Lieutenant Presley Neville O’Bannon, USMC Hero of the War with Barbary Pirates in Tripoli,” written by Oak Harbor resident Trudy Sundberg.

“That’s what we’re involved in today — piracy, politics and power, then and now,” Sundberg said. “My son, Kris, prompted me to write this. He said, ‘Mom, you wrote about Presley Neville O’Bannon 30 years ago, and look what’s happening in North Africa; the pirates are doing it again. It’s the same thing that happened when Thomas Jefferson was our president.’”

So Sundberg got to work, dusting off her first edition of the book on O’Bannon, spending three years researching and refining what she’d previously written. The former schoolteacher is no stranger to writing, having coauthored other books on academic subjects. This was, however, her first military book, even though she is familiar with military life. Her late husband, Capt. John Sundberg, had a distinguished career in the Navy, serving as commander of two squadrons on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, with additional tours of duty in Washington, D.C. and serving as a military attache at the Hague, the Netherlands.

New and improved While Sundberg’s first book had the basic facts, it contained a lot of genealogy. The new edition is a full-color book filled with paintings depicting the events of the battle as well as photographs of O’Bannon’s birthplace and his sword, the model upon which current Marine officers’ swords are based.

Still, there are challenges in researching someone who lived 200 years ago. For that, Sundberg relied upon her research assistant and former student, Kathy Hardesty.

“I had done a lot with the original book, but she knew how to write the letters to the research librarians,” Sundberg said, adding the process just takes time. “Number one, they’re very busy; number two, many are under-

“The Assault on Derna,” by Col. Charles H. Waterhouse, USMCR, retired, depicts Lt. Presley O’Bannon leading his men in an attack against Derna, in hopes of returning a friendly ruler to Tripoli’s throne. PHOTO COURTESY OF TRUDY SUNDBERG paid; and number three, usually you have to keep phoning or writing letters to explain what it is you’d like to have. But I have the utmost respect for librarians, particularly research librarians.”

Even with all the help from various libraries, Sundberg said she was surprised at how little information was available about her subject.

“I honestly don’t know if there’s another book about O’Bannon. He’s mentioned in a lot of books, but I’m guessing this is the only book about him,” she said. “Here’s this little guy, unknown, signs up for the Marines. He took this assignment and went over there and just became a hero. He’s the first man to raise the American flag in victory on foreign soil. This is what he’s known for in the Marines.”

O’Bannon has been somewhat overshadowed in history by Gen. William Eaton, who, as Sundberg tells it, was no general at all.

“The reason my book is on O’Bannon is there are a lot of books on Eaton. He’s the make-believe general,” she explained. “He just named himself a general. He had a lot of influence and chutzpah and self confidence and he’d go to the president and the senators and say ‘We’ve got to stop this.’ So he persuaded them to do this, then when he got over there the funds were limited and he was in terrible shape. But he was brilliant and very aggressive. A lot of people didn’t like him, but he liked O’Bannon and O’Bannon liked him.”

Current events Sundberg hopes recent events will make people more interested in her book.

“Before this recent turmoil, anybody I talked to didn’t know where (the Barbary Coast) was,” she said. “Very few people realize that the area I’m talking about involves Algeria, Tunisia, Tripoli. All this warfare now makes this book quite current.

“And you know what? Almost everybody I talk to, they never even heard about the Barbary Coast,” Sundberg

O’Bannon and the Navy

Three ships of the United States Navy have been named USS O’Bannon, after early Marine Corps hero Presley O’Bannon (1784–1850):

continued. “They never even heard about Thomas Jefferson there. They never knew that we paid hundreds – Trudy Sundberg of thousands of dollars to these bad guys to get our guys out.”

Speaking about her subject with great enthusiasm, Sundberg said she hopes her book can gain the attention of folks on Whidbey Island, especially the active duty Marines stationed at NAS Whidbey.

“I want to emphasize mostly Marines because they know him, they like him, they would love to have this book on their coffee table,” she said with a smile.

Hello Hollywood?

There’s even been some talk of a movie. There is a 1942 film called “To the Shores of Tripoli,” but the Hollywood rumor mills have been abuzz for several years about a historical epic called “Tripoli.”

“There’s been gossip that Ridley Scott is going to do it and I hope he does, then my book would sell like mad,” Sundberg said.

The book is currently available for purchase from Sundberg. The cost is $20 and those interested should contact her by emailing tjsun@whidbey.net.

Sundberg said she has no plans for another book at this time, preferring instead to take a little time off first.

“I’m focusing on Whidbey Island and the Marines and the Navy here and then I’ll focus on some of those projects,” she said.

All in all, Sundberg is thrilled with the way her second edition of the O’Bannon story has turned out and thinks there’s something a little magical about her subject.

“Presley O’Bannon was born in 1776,” she said. “Now, don’t you believe in predestination? I think that adds a little magic touch to the whole thing.”

The second O’Bannon (DD-450) was a Fletcher-class destroyer, launched in 1942 and struck in 1970.

She received the Presidential Unit Citation and earned 17 battle stars for World War II service, more than any other destroyer in the war.

The first O’Bannon (DD-177) was a Wickes-class destroyer, launched in 1919 and struck in 1936.

JOB FAIR | FROM PAGE 4 How should I prepare for a job fair?

• A job fair is a professional event – it is not appropriate for children.

• Research companies ahead of time.

• Prepare resumes targeted for specific openings employers advertise.

• Prepare a 60 second “commercial” to present yourself.

Include name, experience, employment goal, relevant job skills and a ‘here’s why I stand out’ statement.

• Dress neatly and professionally. Keep jewelry to a minimum. Avoid fragrances.

• Be prepared to interview! Have questions to ask.

Remember, you’ve researched them in advance so you’ll have some good questions already prepared.

• Approach employers with confidence, a firm handshake and a smile.

• Allow enough time to visit employers you’re interested in. Don’t monopolize an employer’s time if you see they need to speak to others. Ask if you can come back

when they are not as busy. Then do it.

• This is about what you KNOW, not what you don’t know. Highlight the skills you have rather than apologize for those you don’t.

• Find out their timeline so you’ll know when and how to make an appropriately-timed follow up.

• Thank the employer for their time and ask them to consider you for their opening(s).

• Ask for a business card from everyone you speak to for easy follow up.

Know yourself. Know the employer. Build the bridge between your skills and what the employer needs.

Indeed, my ring finger is quite deformed. Ring or no ring, I could never pass as single.

True, Dustin’s finger has been spared the misshapenness that mine has endured. (Perhaps his old ring was bigger?) But it is contained just the same.

We bought the plain band and left it with mine to finally get engraved.

On the way home, I looked at my suddenly bare, disfigured finger. How long would it take for the skin to bounce back, to regain its usual shape?

Probably never.

I looked at Dustin’s hand—his smooth, symmetrical fingers—on the steering wheel and comforted myself with this: his are misshapen, too....if only metaphorically.
