Because the strap was biting into her shoulder today in 1987 abd the main zipper compartment was developing stress lines, Dorothy Stender, of rural Big Stone County, dumped the contents of her purse on the dining-room table (after putting in all the extra leaves), and seperated the items into throw-away and keep. The keep pile was further divided into keep-in-purse and keep-someplace else.
The keep-somplace-else pile was divided into fifteen designated -area piles:
1. Little drawer on left top of dresser.
2. Green plastic bag in back of bathroom closet.
3. Plaid box under Christmas decorations on top shelf of pantry.
4. Vegetable drawer in refridgerator.
5. Gray barrel in chicken shed.
6. Trunk of car.
7. Oven.
8. Plastic jewerlry-tray on back of toilet.
9. Sleeve of good coat.
10. Pocket of Parka.
11. Old mint container from Oshkosh.
12. Porch ledge.
13. Clothes hamper.
14. Button box.
15. Big Stone Library.
On this smae day in 1987 Maureen Parkett of New Riviera, Minnesota, used a different method to organize her purse. She removed her billfold and car keys and threw everything else in the trash burner, including the purse. she was sstarting a new life without that bum she met at Mammoth Cave two years ago. "Good riddance" were the operative words today. She was clearing the decks.
