With the down turn in oil field sales came lay- offs. DEMCO went from 1200 to around 300 employees. I was laid off toward the end in March 1985. During the period from June 1973 through April 1979 I was with New York Life Insurance Company. I started as an Office Manager Trainee in Austin, Texas on a two year training program, but was p7,omoted after one year -to an office in Houston, Texas.
