Hilltopper Heritage

Pauline

 

James Woodward, Class of 1959, shared the following story with the University Archivist by phone on May 18, 2009.

About one month or six weeks after arriving at Western I needed to get a job and found one driving for Yellow Cab. One Saturday I was in my cab waiting for a call, when one came in. I was told to go down to Norman's, the clothing store, which is gone now but it was down on the square to pick up a package and make a delivery. They said the package had been paid for and that I was to collect the fee for the taxi. I drove over to the address on Clay Street to a building with a paved driveway and a parking lot in the back. Pauline answered the door and I told her I was delivering a package from Norman's. She turned and called up the stairs and said, "Who's got a package from Norman's
Clothing Store?" The woman upstairs yelled back, "It's mine, I'll be right down." In about two minutes she came down in a sheer night gown. She paid, I think the fee for a delivery back then was 75 cents, and gave me a dollar tip and said, "Come see me some time." And that was my first and only
introduction to Pauline.
