Donald's Story
Life
Living in Colorado is great. After living in many differant parts of the country, this is now home. I was transfered to Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center from Fort Riley, Kansas in June 1985 and 370 days later was retired from the US Army. I could not bring myself to leave Colorado. The land and the people are so wonderfull. I started working for The Mazda dealer in Boulder, Colorado in September 1986. I was taught the basics of automotive sales by hard working but some were less then honest people. In January I had the oppertunity to work for the Toyota dealer in Boulder and started at Tom Lyons Toyota. Was taught the trade by honest people and worked hard.

ll Wells and Larry Miller and I got the job as New Car Manager. We had a General Sales Manager who liked playing jokes on people, but had no sense of humor when the roles were reversed. I was promoted to Fleet Manager and left to my own means. I made Toyota Sales Society and thought I was king of the hill. Another had made sales society before me at the store but I was very proud. The next year I was awarded Toyota Master Sales Society (top 50 sales people in the country) and Arlene and I went to The Phoenision Resort for a week of paridise. Arlene & I went on 13 trips with Toyota Master Sales. We moved from our home in the foothills above Boulder and moved to south Denver (now is the city of Centennial, Colorado) and started working for Mr John Elway of the Denver Broncos and the Elway family of dealerships.
