Brad,
I would be happy to hire retired individuals but when I put ads in the 
newspaper they do not apply.  I am not sure how to reach them if they do not 
read the newspaper.  I put up help wanted signs in my snack bar, at food 
land, at 711, and numerous other places.  Thanks for the suggestions and if 
you have more keep them coming please.
Thanks again,

Virgie and lady Hoshi
