h that. Finally discovered that the president and I had very different philosophies on how to run a company. He wasn't going anywhere so I had to. Took a job selling color and color dispensing systems to the concrete products industry covering Ohio, Michigan and part of Indiana so I had to move to the Toledo, Ohio area. Yes, their baseball team is really called the Mudhens and yes, Jamie Farr really is a celebrity there. Nice place though. Reminds me of Phoenix in the sixties and early seventies ... except for the snow. Well, had some family issues that required a temporary return to Vegas. Got a position as the GM of a rental company there. Succeeded beyond my expectations. Unfortunately the pay ain't what it ought to be so ... After looking for a new job for 8 months and not getting interviews for positions for which I was perfectly qualified because I didn't have a bloody degree, I decided to finish my BSBA because, you never know when you will need to find a new job. You'd think that with 25 years of mangement experience it wouldn't matter but apparently, it's important for PR purposes. Was employed as a GM in Durango, CO, back in ready mix. Actually discovered and even worse senior executive than Harry Frazee of the Red Sox (traded Babe Ruth). Got laid off and finally landed a role as a General Manager in New Hampshire. Still in the concrete industry. Gotta do what you know. Be good and God bless.
