Her boss, Claudette Brock, said, "We wouldn't know what to do without her," and many people at the store feel the same. The Port Perry resident was hired 30 years ago to work part-time while Mr. and Mrs. Brock senior vacation- . ed in the sunny south. She never dreamed she'd still be in the sare job 30 years later, although working at Brock's is sort of a tradition in Mrs. Geer's family. Her mother, Ef- * fie Ploughman, also worked behind the cash register. "When I started, I thought I'd be ° here for a month," she recalls with a smile. Now, however, she wouldn't trade her job for anything and.plans to stay a while longer. "I just enjoy it," she said. "It's a bit like a family, and I've enjoyed every minute of it." 2 UNITED CHURCH Rev. Glenn C. Jackson, M.A., B.D.
