She was originally hired by the Trader himself, for the Cosmo Place location: "I hadn't ever heard of Trader Vic's and was very nervous," she said. "I wore a Chinese dress. Trader told me to take my coat off and walk from here to there. After I did, he interviewed me a little more. He called everybody 'kid.' And he said, 'Kid, you can start working here.' " Claudette is a very nice lady who still works on Fridays and Saturdays - bravo to her for her 51 years at Vic's! Here's the fixed link DC -Trad'r Bill [ Edited by: trad'r bill 2011-07-16 09:37 ]
