Jacob's Busy Summer

Jacob Isaac worked at the Gas Station most of the time this summer, but he also had the chance to do more other interesting things too.

He worked as a fish collector for Marshall Fish Processors (M.F.P.) for the first time. And he also delivered fish to Boreal Fisheries which is located below the small village of Pitka's Point. He did this after every fishing opening. "It's more time consuming than commercial fishing," he told me.

While he wasn't working at the Gas Station or for the M.F.P, he used his time watching new releases of movies, going out rod and reeling at Wilson, Willow or Kuik, or taking Maurice and Jacob Turret over to the sandbar to swim.

Later he started working as a manager for the Mas. Inc (Marshall Enterprises) store. "It's a little more stressful than being a regular Gas Station Attendant," he commented.

Jacob's summer was a busy one but he also had some time to do things he liked to do.
