Dear Listers, As I am about to describe a family from Whittier, CA, I came across an occupation given in a death certificate as follows: "Finance collection, Allstate Collection Serv., 22 years" The man, Edward Mitterling, Jr., was 67 when he died in 1991! Can someone tell me: What did this man actually do for a living? Thanks a million for your great assistance in this matter! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane
