Another update.
I decided to retire from my Wholesale Rep Business after 29 years in the industry. Online retail is destroying Pedestrian Retail. The writing is on the wall. My Vendors were keeping all of the online E-tailers. It was time to get out.
Time for a 3rd career.
Combining my experiences of Nursing Home operations and Wholesale Rep Sales, I am now licensed in Minnesota as an Insurance Producer for Life & Health, and will be working with individuals eligible for Medicare. I will be advising them on the best combinations of Medicare Supplements for each individual's needs. Medicare is a very confusing process. I hope to be able to simplify the complicated.
Looking forward to this chapter and the people that I will be able to advise.

An update.
Older daughter Michelle is now married almost one year and living in Dallas.
Younger daughter Danielle is working in the Buying Office at Nordstrom in Seattle, and is equally happy, and dating a wonderful guy.
And I am in a wonderful relationship which is launching into its 4th year next week with an absolutely incredible guy.
Disappointed to miss our 40th reunion, but am looking forward to our 45th. This is going way too fast for me. Have fun.

I moved to Minneapolis last year from St. Paul, which was a good and refreshing thing to do.
Daughter Michelle got unengaged, which was a good thing. Now dating a much improved selection, it's getting serious ... I don't know; the jury is still out.
Daughter Danielle is now a Senior at the University of Wisconsin. That flew by real fast.
Fortunately I am not aging, while my children are.
Perle & Co. has begun to blossom after putting up with the downtrended economy, and customers are once again buying Housewares !!
But I am also working with a company that reduces the cost of Credit Card transactions, and another company that reduces the cost of shipping Pallets and Container loads. Happy to be of assistance if anyone has a need.
Hoping to be joining you all at the upcoming reunion.

Daughter Michelle is engaged, and is graduating from Cosmetology School in September. Loves the craft, and is pretty darn good at it.
Daughter Danielle has begun her college career at the University of Wisconsin - Madison.
You keep feeding them, and they grow. Go figure.

Living in Maryland for the time being since my divorce. I own and operate a Manufacturer's Representative Agency specializing on the Gourmet Housewares and Gift industries. Also am providing Marketing consulting for a financial services advisory group that helps with financial needs to improve cash flow, plans for retirement, college funding, long-term care needs, and securities management. Through no cost, no obligation educational seminars, we provide the opportunity to think of creative and legitimate options available to you.
