He worked his way up through closer, and finance manager and then to a sales manager...He used to HATE putting up the balloons! He would come home with nasty deep (paper cut like, but MUCH worse) cuts from the strings that he had gotten that morning tying up balloons. As a manager he used to have fun picking out the different colors to use for holidays and sales; but mostly I think he just liked telling someone else to go do it... My kids have always loved that he always bring a GIANT carload of them home to each of them on their birthdays. <BR/>There are a few really great special car guys out there, lucky you found a few of them, and even luckier they left you alone to take pictures. I'm one of those that will randomly pull over and start taking snaps myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-81998495841319577422008-11-20T16:53:00.000-05:002008-11-20T16:53:00.000-05:00ilovedthispost.i<BR/><BR/>loved<BR/><BR/>this<BR/><BR/>post.gkgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403357033466233622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-27429739225649358352008-11-19T21:25:00.000-05:002008-11-19T21:25:00.000-05:00LOL :DLOL :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03446678351429140419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11777429.post-91269926198786108852008-11-19T15:53:00.000-05:002008-11-19T15:53:00.000-05:00I love driving that part of 82nd!
