Dennis's Story
I graduated from Cornell in '72.
Had some incredible fun at CU including two summers on Nantucket Island between semesters.
After graduating I went to work as a bus boy at the Munich Olympic Games in '72. I lived in the Olympic Village and was paid 900 marks a month plus room and meals. After the Olympics ended I tried to drink Octoberfest dry. At the end of my adventure I had just enough money to buy a one way ticket out of Germany and an overnight in Iceland on my way back to the States. Our plane slid off of the runway upon landing in Buffalo.
Started my supermarket career in '72 with Loblaws...Expand for more
who later merged with the Peter J Schmitt Co. Transfered to Erie Pa in '76 and returned to Buffalo area in '82 as VP of Sales and Merchandising.
Married Jan Speciale, class of 1970 in '77.
While with PJS went on some great trips to Rome, London, Sweden, Russia, Hawaii, Bermuda, Hong Kong, Spain and more. My favorite place is the San Fransico area.
Moved to Tops Markets in 1992 when PJS went belly up due to overextending ourselves with a LBO and a new warehouse and labor problems. Worked in the marketing area of Tops for 8 years and called it quits in Aug'00.
