Family and Friends with Space Heaters
Our best friend David Lewis, was twenty one when his father died and left him over 2 million in his assets. Now Dave had sometimes been different from some of us. We would have twenty dollars and get together and find the quickest 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 family were the wealthiest family I knew personally.
So Dave took his cash and procured the electric space heaters company. Now that was 1979. By about 1992 or so, that same business was worth about five times what he spent for it. His electric space heater investment had payed off, and payed off huge. We stayed in touch over the years and he got betrothed to Sharon, had seven children, including John, who was a real clever kid.
By now, 2017, John was pretty much working things at the Fireright electric space heater company, and they were doing very well. The country had just barely began to rebuild from the second great depression of 2011. Dave and I were spending a lot of time together recently, 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 loved one had lost there lives in a vehicle crash just a few weeks ago, and it had done wonders to draw the old friends back together. We would sit around the portable electric space 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.
