Virginia Beatle .

Yes, I knew a Beatle!  Virginia that is. She managed the cafeteria in Building 3001 of Tinker Air Force Base. She taught me to eat my vegetables and like it.  Until she came along I ate nothing but meat and potatoes . My mother thought a vegetable wasn't done until it was mush, so I just ate the potatoes. I can't remember who else worked at the base restaurant, but no one ever forgot Virginia Beatle all 250lbs of her.

It was my first job after I got married. The job consisted of counting and depositing the daily cash from the base restaurants( all three).  I also supervised the Vending Machine Company that serviced the base.  Ron Wolfe owned (mafia front man) Interstate Vending Machine Co. and Tom White was their local interface (cash cow). I mistakenly thought Tom White offered a better deal.  It took me less than a year to learn that it payed better if you worked with your brain not your brawn.
