What made moving even worst was that next season I would have been old enough to compete for the teen surfing title.

John Rudder Holloway, my father, lost his job when the factory he worked at moved over the Mexican border last year.Since then he’s had a string of odd jobs, none lasting more than a week and most only one or two days. Well he did get a job as a door to door salesman that lasted for nearly two weeks before they fired him for not selling a single magazine subscription.
