Were you just photocopying statements and stuffing them in envelopes with form letters, or were you actually originating letters to them?
This is a remarkable story, Bea.

My mother was the Treas Sec for CLO or FOLO (the name kept changing back then, or, as a five year old, it was not my top priority to understand the name of the org, ok?).
She would hand me a huge stack of papers and a big bag of nickles. There was a copy machine in PAC between ASHO and where OSA used to be (which is currently the halls between ASHO and LA Org). It was on the lowest floor of ASHO.
I would go there, put in a nickle and make a copy of the papers. One of each page, over and over.
When I ran out of papers to copy, I would go back to CLO/FOLO (which is where Incomm is now - across from AOLA, corner of Fountain and LRH Way) and fold each one of them.
I think my mom had a form letter to all of them. I dont recall her writing letters to them, but she may have.
What I was sending (I just now remembered) was their monthly statement. So maybe it didnt need a letter. It was like a bill, which I had to make sure was sent out every month. We had it down by last name letter and date. Thats right. I had to be on ___ letter, by ___ date, to keep them monthly.
So I would fold them and stuff into envelopes.
I think we just brought them to the Comm Dept which had a machine which would put a stamp on them and it would lick and close the letter.
And I did this daily for a long time.
Until I was crossing the street in the rain by myself and got hit by a car.
Then I got to scared to work in the org. And I stopped.
That went on for at least 6 months to a year.

If anyone wants to protest that children were well looked after and cared for in the SO, there are hundreds who can line up and tell otherwise. Though it is not the worst lifestyle to have had, at least what they actually do and how children are treated should not be lied about.
