"One reason we've made money sooner than some IS that I've lived in San Diego my entire 30 years and we've bad many referrals from people that way "Another reason we've made it is that both my partner and I have wives with other careers and that's how we swing it fmancially. Also, we are both very thrifty. We have one child and another one on the way, and our money situation is finally be- ginning to look better."

It was very compet- itve, she said, and learning to work fast was the main advantage. But she was anx- ious to become her own boss. It has been a constant. struggle to keep business steady since gomg solo, said Fisher. But her efforts have been worthwhile. "Things get slow and you get real hun- gry," she said. "One week I may get $200; another week. f.!,000. I ocse my own hours, but if I take Memor•al Day off, for instance, I can miss 1,000 w kmg in the door." Fisher's mother is a Jlid e m Arizona. Her sister also is an attorney She said she learned much from them, including/_the value of promoting herse f.

Dunn struggled without much success until his ncighbor's mother persuaded her friend, attorney Albert E. Walkoe, to help him out.
