CATHERINE ANN HACKER
In Harch of 1964, I met Catherine Hacker. She worked in
the accounting section of Internal Revenue and she lived
alone at 920 South Pasfield street in Springfield and I
lived alone at 1427 West Washington street in Springfield
and I worked in the Returns and Receipt section of
Internal Revenue.
The early part of 1965 we were told that the accounting
section and the returns and receipt section was going to be
transferred to the Service Center of Internal Revenue in
Kansas Ci ty, Hissouri . As eirployees we had a choice of
transferring, quitting or retiring. Since we did not
have the right amount of years of working for the government
and also were not the right age and we both needed
the uork, we decided to transfer. In June of 1965 we went
to Kansas City to find the location of the Service Center
and to look for a house. We found where we would be working
and also found a house known as the Hiclqnan Hills area
which is a suburb of Kansas City. Hy ernployment was in
the state of |tissouri and Catherine was later transferred
to the state of Kansas.
Catherine is a very methodical type of person, very neat
and orderly. She has been wi th me through many minor and
major surgeries and is a most cornpassionate and very kind
person as well as being very generous and unselfish. We
have been through some very sad experiencesr I feel very
fortunate to have such a true and devoted friend as catherine.
