Late 1968 Eileen started working at Adult Education, first as an evening secretary at Sackville and then Imberhorne and then as the children went to school took on extra daytime duties and eventually spent most of her time in the office. (During this time her mother lived with the family and they had a built-in 'baby-sitter' which was a great help). She left on her 65th birthday and was in her 25th year with Adult Education and was given a surprise leaving 'do' with a large gathering at the Meridian Hall, arranged by Pat. After he retirement she occasionally worked as an exam invigilator.
