Sandi and I have been here in L.A. for a couple of days and Sandi and I are
taking turns handing out our resumes Sandi is going to Paramount Studios
today and I am looking for an apartment or house to rent.
She asked," Mike do you have a resume? I know where that studio is where
you want to apply at."
I said," Yeah I do."
I went into my bag and gave her my resume.
She took my car left the motel room and I got a newspaper and looked
through the classifieds.
I saw what looked like a nice house at and affordable rent.
I said," I have a female friend who is handing our resumes to Paramount
Studios and WWLR."
He asked," What will your profession be?"
"Sandi is a secretary hopefully and me to fly one of their helicopters. I
was with Air Calvary in Viet-Nam."
He said," Aaaaah impressive."
I said," I heard Vietnam vets aren't too popular here."
He said," With me it isn't that way. Besides you are very professional and
I like that. When can you come to look at the house?"
I said," I would love to come now but I don't have a way to get there and
Sandi has the car."
He laughed and said," Where are you at? I can pick you up."
When I told him the motel there was silence on the other end for a second.
He said," You are only 10 minutes from me."
He said," By the way I am Jim."
I said," Jim I am Mike."
He said," Mike nice meeting you I will see you in a few minutes."
I waited for him and 10 minutes later there was a knock on the door.
I opened it and I saw a man who was about 6'0" and weighed what I would say
about 200 lbs had a little bit of a middle age spread and he had graying
and hair that was thinning just a little bit.
He extended his hand and gave me a hearty handshake and said," I am Jim
Anderson and I am here."
I looked at him and saw instantly that we would be good friends.
