We're home three weekends a year. Our camper is our real home. Being a member of the National Campers and Hikers Association gives our family the opportunity and the enjoyment of getting out of town every weekend...and to camp with other families.

The Rotary Club has 752,000 members in 150 countries. It was started in 1905 by a group of businessmen for their mutual benefit. The name derives from the original plan to "rotate" the location of each meeting. Today Rotary is a club devoted to four types of service: Club, Community, Vocational and International. We are still growing and add at least one new club to our worldwide membership every day. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California, from the series "Our Kind of People"

This is the only gold dredge in the continental United States. It operates around the clock, seven days a week, moving three million cubic yards of sand and gravel every year. The dredge makes twenty-five cents per cubic yard and with the depressed gold market somtimes doesn't break even. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California, from the series "Working"

The last thing I did before leaving for San Francisco after my dad died was watch fireworks explode over the St. Louis arch on the Fourth of July. Two days later I crested a hill on Route 80 and saw the expanse of San Francisco Bay for the first time. It was so beautiful I cried. St. Louis, Missouri, from the series "Leisure"

I like working at the shelter workshop. I can be productive and be part of the community. I make money and pay my own way. On my days off I watch TV, ride my bike and write letters to my friends. Someday I'm thinking of getting married.

A banana split has one banana, three lumps of ice milk, crushed pineapple, strawberries, chocolate syrup and whipped cream. In two days of our forty-nine cent special we sold five thousand splits. Businessmen want a pretty face at the counter and counter girls have to have personality to deal with the public.

As a receptionist in a dentist's office I know that people are often anxious when they come in for a visit, so during the holidays I go all out to decorate the waiting room. I love to see the expression on their faces when they check out our Christmas tree., from the series "Working"
