i was working at crum and forster when gwen came to be the switchboard operator when mrs yarborough retired. ted ballard got many of us jobs there and may have been responsible for her coming. we had lots of years together and everybody loved gwen.. the switchboard was old and you plugged in each call to its extension. i started there in 1966 and she came a year or two later. rest in peace now...
