Another Elaine. This was our lovely usher at the Boston Opera House when we were there to see my nephew Aaron dance with the Boston Ballet in Swan Lake. Elaine started ushering in 2004 when the refurbished Opera House opened with The Lion King. She used to work every show, but now she takes Sundays off. She's delighted to be in a union. Every week they take a small percentage of her paycheck out and deposit it in a vacation fund. Then in June she gets a check, usually in the $500 to $700 range. One of the many kind people we met on our New England trip.
