    Wait a minute, here: Hey, Martin, why did you need three apartments? Also, if you had two businesses, why were you working at Ford?

    In '77, I was in Chicago, selling diamonds on the road, playing in my band on weekends, dating my soon to be first wife, and having a pretty good time doing it all.

    I assume he meant rental apartments. And why not work at Ford if you have two businesses?

    What businesses were they? What business was rented from you? I don't understand.

    1977 I had recently started working at a company I got hired at by studying electronics at the library so I could pass their entrance exam. That job ended up being the launching point for my purchasing career. I was single, had a nice apartment, and enjoyed my job.

    That company installed & monitored security and access control systems in office buildings in DC and the suburbs, so we had the engineer's keys to all those office buildings. I watched the National Fireworks from the rooftops of offices just across the river from DC in '77, '78, '79, '80 and '81.

    Good times.

    What happened?
