Home Country: Successfully Retired

By SLIM RANDLES

Ran into Herb Collins the other day down by the school. He volunteers there, from time to time, helping kids with their math homework, and trying to recruit future members of The Great World of Business.

He loved business, back in the days when he lived in the city and ran the pawn shop. For years now, ever since he hung up his jeweler’s loupe, he’s told us that there was an excitement to making the right deal.

“It has to be right for the customer and for me, or it isn’t right at all,” Herb always says. “You can do that and make several people happy and earn a living. There’s no need Read More

Will they have common sense, grasp onto their educational opportunities, avoid those pitfalls of life which are foreseeable and most often avoidable? No doubt almost every parent will rue some of his kids’ choices at one time or another, but you also know they have to learn the consequences of going down a foolish path … hopefully learning them prior to serious damage to themselves or to others.

So, whom should Read More
