[acb-hsp] FW: Bosma Job Announcement - Adjustment Counselor

[Baracco, Andrew W]

One important thing was left out, the pay.  I doubt that these
nonprofits could pay me what I'm worth.  I have read so many job
announcements that have a list of duties and qualifications as long as
your arm, and when it comes to compensation, I could make more money as
an auto mechanic.  But the speedway is there, and that would be a draw
for me, as well as you Deanna, but we're both married. (SMILE)!
