Jessie Soto. Jessie came into my life from a 'Neighbors' ad, Written by Paul to give me a boost to find some help. I have worked with many on my farm--mostly students, But Jessie, a 54 year old Postal Worker, Looking for extra employment, Came, saying he wanted work And had some pastoral (as well as postal !) experience. Well, 'Let's give it a try and see where we go'. Is it possible that one could have found such a treasure? He arrives early, works seamlessly, and leaves with a smile. Will my bubble burst? Is he really as genuine As I have always tried to be my entire life? Jessie, I am pleased and will endeavour to keep this dream going. Frank Mauer 27 July 2023 2145 Hours.
