Janet told me (Nick) this story.

Dorothy worked at Grossmont College for a long time. Part of her job there was to collect fees at a cashiers window. She had a book that the college printed every few years that had pictures of all of the faculty. People that worked at the college had to come to her to pay fees, and do other business. If someone was rude to her she would take out the book with the pictures of everyone, find the person who was rude to her, and put a black mark across their picture. If someone had three marks she would ignore them and not help them when they came to the window.

Comment from Janet when I asked if I got the story right:

We laughed and laughed at the people who were so rude, your Mom getting indignant all over again every time we looked at the book. It makes me smile.
