Happy Thoughts

    Joe Ciolino was happy to report that the Weathervane is now 14 years old. Cheryl Collins is celebrating her anniversary deciding to go into business for herself,  Carole Sharoff was happy to be over her "whooping cough" disease.  John Dugger had a bittersweet experience to tell, his home construction project is progressing well, but his work construction project has come to a grinding halt.  Howard Frisch was very impressed by the "shrimp girl" at a recent Chamber Business Exchange.  (Translation - the "shrimp girl" was none other than our own Ruth Pino being the good hostess that she is and serving an endless supply of shrimp hors d'oeuvres).  Scott Chernov was happy with the Building Center slogan "if we do not have it, you do not need it!" as compared to other retailers whose motto is "we have what you need!".  Ruth Pino was happy with the turnout at the latest Chamber's Evening Business Exchange.  Ruth was also happy she meet her husband 39 years ago.
