9 ^ <br />Honorable Niayor and Council Members <br />September 1/ 1992 <br />Page Two <br />Listed below are some of ray personal service <br />contributions as well as some of my personal hardships that <br />I've gone through which have delayed my building on this <br />lot: <br />Two (2) years U.S. Navy—V/orld War II, 15 months <br />overseas in the South Pacific. <br />Ten (10) years employment--no retirement benefit. <br />Thirty-three (33) years employment-$5,740 total sum of <br />retirement pay. Fifteen (15) years work of overtime hours, <br />which totals 48 years of v;ork calculated at 2,000 hours per <br />year, 10-13 hours daily and Saturday and occasional Sundays <br />and holidays. <br />Fifteen (15) years part-time Licensed Site Evaluator, <br />State of Minnesota No. 852. <br />Four (4) years Cub Scout Treasurer. Two (2) years <br />Little League North Shore Baseball coach. Five (5) years <br />Pee Wees and Bantam's Traveling Hockey Team coach. <br />1978--Daughter became ill with Leukemia—sophomore at <br />University of Minnesota. Died one (1) year later at St. <br />Louis, MO, after receiving bone marrow transplant. Total <br />bill $197,000 plus a few minor bills. Yes, I had a health <br />insurance policy, but there were co-payments and deductibles <br />to be paid before major m dical started. There were travel <br />expenses and living expenses in St. Louis, also. This has <br />been paid in full with no charity. <br />1975--Residents of Willow Drive and Hackberry were <br />bunched in with three (3) other sewer projects to help pay <br />for the costly project on Tonkawa Road--3 lines--lift <br />stations — force mains and 16-18" trunk lines. Vacant lots <br />were assessed the same as homes in this 1975 project. <br />No one else in Stubbs Bay Sewer Project assisted in any <br />monies, yet they are getting a 30% reduction, plus <br />negotiation lawsuits for approximately $1,595.
