Dad - pharmaceutical salesman
Summer of 81, I turned 8 on May 25. The Isles had just won their 2nd Cup. I was at Game 5 vs Minnesota. Life was great. My dad was a sales rep on Long Island. German pharmaceutical company. He called on doctors but also pharmacies. He had a pharmacist in Bellmore he did business with. His name was Si. One day, dad brought home all these boxes of Fleer and Donruss. I opened them up, but decided I was going to save one vendor box each. For the future. Maybe I'd be rich.
I think the future was a rainy day within a year of the day my dad brought those babies home. I should see if I can complete a set when I retire. There were more than enough cards...
