Last week’s article concluded with Mrs. Adams taking a night job so that she could be at home during the days and when the girls arrived from school. We continue on today, again, mostly in middle daughter, Mary’s, words.
After working at Texas Instruments for a number of years, Mrs. Adams spotted an advertisement for a rural letter carrier in Forney. She took the position and worked there until her retirement. (Mrs. Sue Adams sort of became a “fixture” in Forney as I remember things. Folks recognized her delivery vehicle, and there was something wrong if she did not come by!) Mary says that her Mother always enjoyed her work and “regaled us with stories along the way—from assembling components at Texas Instruments to telling about the little children she met along her route.”
