rtly afterwards in what was one of the biggest fraud cases of it's day. Before that happened, bought a real home in White Meadow Lake, NJ in 1990. First time was unemployed. NJ said I was unemployable and allowed me to take NJ Small Business Boot Camp, which was a big help. Bunch of us ex-employees then got together and formed Doc-tor.com, which sold Medical Practice management software over the Internet, which was pretty novel at the time. Sold Doc-tor.com in late December 2019, just before Corona Virus outbreak. Timing is everything. We would have been bankrupt if we still owned the company. Anyway, I am finishing out the year transferring the baton to the new company and plan on retiring at the end of the year.
