Original Message Similar employment situation for me Dave, only it ended up working out... I had a retail job at Bambergers/Macys in East Brunswick NJ ('78 - '79) that was tied in with a course (job was mandatory) that I was taking at school, and there were only two shifts available for part timers that had to work the evenings during the week..... Either you worked M, W, & F 6pm to store closing (10pm), plus Saturday store opening to 6pm. or T & Thurs 6pm to to store closing, and Saturdays 3pm to store closing (10pm). Doing the math... you can see that neither shift above would allow for a full night at Flemington.... I have no idea how I talked my way into it, but I was the only part time employee in a store that probably had well over 100 - employees, that had a "custom shift" which was M, W, & F 6pm to store closing, and Saturday store opening to 6pm store opening to 3pm! That left me just enough time to go home, change, pick up my date (if I had one for that night!), and head up over Neshanic to get to Flemington before the Rookie Feature took the green!
A few more things I remember about Flemington, especially in the early/mid 70's when I was still a teenager:
Good memories.... |
