[Write-up and photo from
2000]
After P.C., Duke was a
fabulous 4 years with modest careers in athletics (baseball and
basketball) and academics (C average). After 6 months in the Army
Reserves active duty, '65 - '62 was spent in New York with two major
corporations in the medical supply business AND two major corporations
in the textile industry. All my positions were sales, marketing, and
management.
In 1972, I returned to my roots in Abington PA
following my father's passing, and bought the business (from partners)
that my father had founded in 1930. It was mining sand and gravel for
consumption in the construction industry, and shortly moved into marine
transportation, dredging, landscaping/nursery supply, and real-estate
sales through reclamation.
I am divorced, no children, and am currently spending
half of each year in Jupiter FL and the other half in Abington. |
