Over 50 years brings about history. Many huge and prestigious corporations and organizations that are gone, some of the industries with them. But it is the people, the individuals I remember and serve the best. And it is never about the money. When I was growing up, I cleaned a lot of toilets; toilets in homes, offices and yes, forest preserve bathroooms.
I am one helluva lotto machine
Hans and Eva owned a little corner store in Lincoln Park and Illinois had just started the Lotto program. The state lotto organization were sending a person in a foam box made to look as a Lotto machine to promote the Lotto.
That day was cold and the person did not show. My friends were very disappointed. At the end of the day as I was buying something at the store, my friends pulled out the schnapps and in another few minutes I was a cold Lotto machine dancing on Webster Avenue. How much fun is it to help your neighbor or friend? I think it is both fun and the right thing to do. This is the heart of business, working together.
