  Slovak hall

  Jun 1971 - Jun 1971

  Bartender

  Roughly one hour spent behind bar with similar-aged cousin at raucous 25th wedding-anniversary celebration for parents and said cousin’s parents. Displayed exemplary immediacy in refilling empty beer glasses with Falstaff on tap for inebriated uncles, to avoid their losing their place in the telling of unending World War II combat stories. Efficiently delegated mixed-drink requests to older cousin overseeing the whole operation (and paying for all the liquor – thus the nepotism-paved job). Earned unparalleled insight at age seven years into the booze-fueled human spirit roaring strong at 2am. Show less
