Harold had been “blessed” with several sons, one of whom was a member the maintenance department. Roger, a senior in high school and the third youngest member of the team, was remarkably like his father. In fact the resemblance so fit that Roger became known as “little Harold.” However, there was one important difference: Roger, unlike his father, disliked work. Of course being the boss’ son had some advantages; higher pay, $7.75 an hour instead of $7.50 an hour; lawn-mowing, riding a sit-down tractor instead of pulling weeds; and a direct line to Harold, a line that we felt had some voltage in that a run in with “Little Harold” meant quite often a run in with Harold. The threat of “lay-offs” was an integral part of every Friday’s paycheck, so “little Harold” was always called Roger. This was not to say that Roger was totally unliked; many of us considered his predicament, namely that he was Harold’s son, and basically a rather lonely person. Gatherings such as parties and softball games always found Roger included.
Mid-July was the beginning of the peak season at the Harborside, and all seemed right on schedule. The maintenance crew had indeed suffered some losses, two men layed off for disciplinary reasons, and yet the grounds and hotel had never looked or functioned better. The gardens were filling with bloom, the lawns had not yet been burned by the ocean sun, and Roger had managed to put the right amount of fertilizer on the golf course greens for a change. Several of us had refinished a grand piano, and to both management’s and our delight the result had been magnificent. The crew’s work was under high praise and Harold couldn’t have been happier. The crew felt confirmed in its assessment of its own performance. Prospects for the summer looked good with a competent and close-knit crew. However, several members of the crew felt the high-paid prince of Harold-land, Roger, was getting a little out of hand in that he now spent the greater part of his day wooing Sue, the pool attendant. These complaints often came to Bob since he was second to Harold in the number of years he had worked at the Harborside.
