My sister worked there for a year or so,  and so did her husband.&#8221; She included a link to the Wikipedia page on Fields; <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/J._M._Fields\">check that out here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>My sister <b>Louise<\/b>, meanwhile, also had a family member who worked at Fields.
