Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney’s university-age daughter, Mary, was refused a summer job at Yellowstone National Park (Part I, May 24). She was not “qualified” for the job, according to the notice from the park to her mother, Lynne.
After receiving this notice, Lynne Cheney called park Supt. Robert Barbee. After the call, park officials took another look at Mary’s application.
Guess What! Mary was then hired for the same job for which her application had been refused because of her lack of qualification.
A little influence certainly helps.
