Bruce started working at GJ’s summer or fall of 1978 when his sister Cathy (friend of Steph) told him they were hiring.  Filled out the application, was hired on the spot and started working right away.  It took a whole seven days before he got sat down by Steph and told his performance was not up to par.  Wow, his first job and he may be through in one week.  He evidently improved his work ethic enough to keep his job, and not resort to a life of petty crime.  He learned all kind of important stuff such as washing dishes by hand, bussing tables, and the fact that carpet (in the movie theater) can actually be swept with a broom.  Todd Miller was hired next, followed a bit later by Tim Murray as driver, and then Ross.  Bruce lasted two years at Grand Junction and remembers Rosy’s broken nose when he was robbed, Toad’s flipping a knife in the air and catching it by the handle most of the time.  (The nicks in his hands showed us how often he missed.)  And Tim’s Toyota that he drove like a madman.

Bruce liked working at GJ’s so when he left he was hired at Mr. Gatti’s in the Promenade shopping center thinking he would enjoy any work at a pizza place.  He was sorely mistaken.  After two weeks he quit and was hired at JCPenney’s at Prestonwood Mall and had to wear a suit for the next nine months.
