My younger sister Aubrey had returned from Mizzou three weeks earlier.
Dad was thrilled about her business degree.
He practically handed her management responsibilities before she even knew the regular customers.
At her first employee meeting, she presented her plans.
Eliminate the repair department.
Stop allowing contractors to purchase on monthly accounts.
And reduce Chad’s schedule from forty hours to twelve.
Chad stood there holding his coffee.
He’d worked in our lumberyard for more than thirty years.
I immediately objected.
“Chad stays at forty hours.”
Dad exploded.
He accused me of taking advantage of the family while Aubrey had worked
