Life and Friends with Space Heaters
Posted in General Interest on 03/08/2009 08:43 am by EditorMy best friend David Lewis, was twenty when his dad went on and left him over 1.5 million in his estate. Now Dave had usually been different from all of us. We would bring twenty dollars and get together and find the shortest way to blow it. Not Dave, he would get his cash, how much ever it was, and half would go in his savings, and the other half he would toss in towards what ever we were about to do. His Dad was that way, and his folks were the most prosperous family I knew personally.
So Dave took his cash and procured an electric heater company. Now that was 1979. By about 1990 or so, that same company was worth about five times what he spent for it. His electric space heater investment had payed off, and payed off huge. We kept in touch over the years and he got hitched to Wendy, had six children, including Nathan, who was a real clever son.
By now, 2016, John was pretty much working things at the Burnsright electric space heater company, and they were doing very good. The country had just barely begun to rebound from the second great depression of 2009. Dave and I were spending a lot of time together presently, and since George had been killed, George was another one of our good lifetime friends, our families had been seeing a lot of each other.
George and his spouse had lost there lives in a truck crash just a few months ago, and it had done wonders to draw the old friends back together. We would sit around the lasko ceramic heater and talk about the old times and catch up on the years past, and as I saw it this was what living was about.
