The year 1979 was great for transitions — I struck out on my own on Sept. 1, 1979 to pursue the American Dream of owning my own business and charting my destiny.
No fear of the unknown, well, maybe some trepidation, but Lois and I were determined to give it our best shot. Prior to that date, I attended a weekday auction because a plumber/HVAC contractor had transitioned to the other side of the lawn. I went home with the tools and inventory needed for a great start.
