The novelty of newcomers faded as the adults became integrated into the community. Jill’s worry about letting her son out of her sight receded with the abundance of attention he garnered. His initial reticence to be more than a few feet from her, with the exception of being with Bre, quickly changed to at least occasional preference for other adults who fawned over him.

As Bre had predicted, Jill’s initial feeling ended that she was an unneeded member of the community and would have nothing to keep her busy. In addition, multiple staffers were eager to take advantage of playing with or watching a child. Jill spent most of her time as a general gofer for administrators, along with helping the site’s three cooks in preparatory work, starting with Kathy Zerlang.

“This has got to be overwhelming for you, Jill,” said Kathy when they first met. “Most of the people are really great, and there’s no better place to meet them than when they’re feeding their faces and almost everyone is in a good mood. If Bre doesn’t need you full time, how about an hour or two helping around lunchtime? That’ll free us cooks for planning and preparation. We can spec out a place for Bobby to play. He’ll always be in sight. Just come around noon on those days when you don’t have anything else to do.”

By the end of the first week at Site 23, Jill had followed the suggestion. It had been Kathy’s turn as lead cook with assistance from Sally Ingersoll. By the end of the first month, Jill was helping two or three times a week when Kathy and Sally were lead cooks, but not with the third cook, Harry Houdin. Everyone agreed he was a fine cook and affable, but Jill didn’t like the way she caught him staring at her.
