Calling In Favors
Written: by Miracle Man
New Years Eve 2021
Do you recall the first person in life
who gave you a chance?
After you had jumped through hoops,
for a song and dance.
At eighteen I searched for a job,
two years experience everyone wanted.
Question was, which comes first,
I was made to feel daunted.
I was 18 and in a new place (San Diego California)
and a new acquaintance ask if I’d found a job, and where I’d looked.
He told me to go to Rohr Aircraft and I told him I’d already been there and they required 2 yrs recent experience. Being young, I wondered how do I get this experience without first having a job. He wrote a note on a piece of paper and sent me back to see this person. I did, and was immediately hired. This man’s name on a piece of paper was all it took. I worked there for 5 years (was a great employee) before returning to my roots. Though this man is gone now, I often think of him and his giving me my first chance. I’ve always wondered what the note said and if he was
“calling in favors.”

Rohr family was nicest and kindest;
They had found it so hard to resist;
High point there,
They would share;
A new Episcopal Church does exist.
