	RECORD OF EMPLOYMENT OF LYNDA TAPPAN

	Lynda Tappan was hired by her ex-husband.  Employment records
kept  by Mike  and Lynda  Tappan show that  she started  formal, paid
employment with Vicarm on June 28, 1975.  On July 26, 1975  Lynda was
involved  in an  automobile  accident  and took  a  medical leave  of
absence.   Employment records show that the last recorded day of work
was July  28, 1975.   Lynda has  claimed that  she worked after  that
date, but  has not been paid.   Our checkbook records show  that on 4
dates after  July 28,  Lynda filled  out checks  to be  signed.   Our
contention is  that Lynda  did not  actually formally  work on  these
dates because,  as she claims, she  was too ill to come  to work.  In
addition, Lynda  Tappan kept  her  own record  of hours  worked,  and
entered those  hours into  the books.   Our books  show no  record of
this.   Furthurmore, on all her claims for compensation- whether from
the insurance  company related  to  the accident,  of for  disability
insurance, she has  used the date July 28 as  the date she left work.
In any event, if Lynda Tappan wished to make a claim for unpaid wages
she should do it with the proper authorities.

	VICARM'S STATEMENT REGARDING THE LEAVING OF LYNDA TAPPAN


	The principal point  in question is whether Lynda  Tappan and
Vicarm acted  reasonably in the matter of  Lynda Tappan's leaving the
employment of Vicarm. 

	As has been  stated, Lynda Tappan  was last  paid to work  at
Vicarm on July  28, 1974.  This  was also the date  of her automobile
accident.    At  that time  it  was both  her  understanding  and the
understanding of  Vicarm  that  she was  taking  a medical  leave  of
absence.    The  duration of  this  leave  was  indeterminate but  it
extended at  least until  October  22 when  Mike Tappan  submitted  a
written  confirmation that  "As  of today,  October  22, 1974,  Lynda
Tappan  has not  yet returned  to work." This  leave of  absence also
extended until December 1974 when Lynda mentioned to Mike  Tappan her
intention to return to work.  This leave of absence also lasted until
Jan.   13, 1975 when Lynda arrived at the Vicarm premises and without
asking permission she entered, as an employee may, past the reception
area  into the private  office and  manufacturing area of  Vicarm and
began removing materials.  

	Vicarm contends that Lynda always understood that she was  on
leave of  absence  and that  Vicarm confirmed  her  leave of  absence
status  from time  to time.   Vicarm  contends that  although Lynda's
leave of absence  was granted for medical  reasons initially, it  did
not remain that way,  because at some time before Jan.   13 Lynda was
obviously medically ready to return to work at Vicarm. 

	Vicarm  claims that on  Jan.  13, 1975  Lynda's appearance at
Vicarm with the  intent to remove  her personal property  constituted
her quitting  the employment of  Vicarm.  In  addition, Vicarm claims
that Lynda Tappan removed  her materials and  stated her opinions  by
her actions such  that it was clear  to Vicarm and to  any reasonable
person observing the  situation that Lynda Tappan had no intention or
desire to ever again work for Vicarm.  Vicarm's statements that we do
not expect to hear from Lynda  Tappan are a correct reflection of the
incident  of Jan.   13, 1975.   In addition to  Lynda's actions being
prima facie evidence  of her quitting  her employment at Vicarm,  her
methods were such that Vicarm was forced to state to her that she was
never to return to the Vicarm premises. 

	I certify under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true
and correct.
