Andy hired Paulette and myself at the same time, to work at the hardware store. Paulette was a lot of fun to be around. If the weather was bad, she would sneak in the bathroom and smoke. She thought she could flush that smell down the toilet. She gave us a laugh for many years to follow. I'll never forget her. Condolences to her family. She was a good soul. Pam Trone & Tommy Trone
