The reception

It was our job to answer the phones. “Hello, Vault Salon and Spa, this is Russ speaking, how can I help you?” Over and over, again and again.

We were told to dress up, look good. Dick had no problems with that, even in his uniform white t-shirt and black jeans. When I took off to attend classes, he stayed to man the phones, intermittently heading to New York and Paris where he would dress up, look good.

But before he took off for his extended vacation from the city that was, they got this photo of him, looking all dapper, with his freshly cut hair.
