Switchboard Work and Sweet Memories at LagosBefore marriage, Mom worked in a button factory and then as a telephone operator. A fire at Schmidt Beauty Supply kept her working extra hours transferring calls. Dad courted her at Lagomarcino’s, and after their wedding, with Elva Melton as maid-of-honor and witness, they went to the movies and then to Lagos. Years later, the narrator and Mom lunched there together.
