First sentence: In 1934 my life changed when my mother called me in Salyer, Trinity County, California where I was working for the U S Army in the Civilian Conservation Corps to inform me that she was in contact with her friend, Carl Nordling of the Dollar Steamship Lines out of San Francisco, California, (She was Jennie B, Magers of Alameda, Clifornia, and a representative of a pioneer Oregon family, members of whom operated the first line of steamboats on the Columbia river between Portland and the Dalles), and that they were hiring Seamen and Engine Room employees.
