Letha Frohling Gerardo Gaje Melinda Galindo Matthew Garcia Seniors Kent Wisenor and Peter Rafert are ready for work at the Lodi Funeral Home. Both Wisenor and Raf- ert spend their time during the week pick- ing up corpses. Sitting behind a desk, they waited patiently for a phone call. All of a sudden, in the middle of finishing their homework, the phone rings. As they picked-up the receiver, a voice said pick- up at Memorial. lnstead of mowing lawns or flipping burgers, seniors Peter Rafert and Kent Wisenor had a job which was quite different than typical teenage fair. Both worked for a local funeral home. Rafert and Wisenor worked at a local funeral home. They both agreed the work wasn't hard, but very time consuming. They picked-up an average of three corpses a week, which left plenty of time for homework. For the small amount of work l did, l earned good mon- ey, said Wisenor. At mostjobs you don't have time to do ho- mework or anything else. When they started out at the funeral home, both kept a close watch out around the corners .and jumped at every noise they heard. Soon, the job was routine and the fear was gone. At first it was kind of scary, but now l'm use to it, said Rafert. Working at the funeral home didn't bother them, they both got use to hearing the jokes that constantly evolved around death. Seniors dispose ecease Some of the jokes were lt's a dead job and People are dying to meet me. lf working around caskets and corpses weren't enough, both spent the night at the funeral home in an unoccupied apart- ment in the back of the mortuary. To top it all off, Wisenor has a job set up for him at a funeral home in Chico for when he goes to college. by Kimberly Banghart some SAMUEL D SALAS FAMILY 194 O ,lg
