transcription:
First, in the bank I worked for Dr. Schumacher. Which department that was? I don't know; savings and loans ? yes, mortgages. I was Dr. Schumacher's secretary. Later I was Dr. Pechlaner's secretary in savings and loans. I didn't want to work as a teller. I always worked in the office as a secretary. Even though I didn't write German shorthand well. I could write in Italian. I had to get used to German. I wasn't good at it but they were satisfied. They gave me a very good reference. When I married, my husband wanted me to give up my work. That was difficult for me. I had just received tenure and was earning well. When you marry you simply have to obey.
