BACK IN THE MID 1970'S I QUIT TEACHING IN SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI AND MOVED TO LITTLE ROCK. THERE I MET JOHN ALLEN, A MAN WHO WOULD BECOME A LIFE LONG FRIEND. JOHN WAS IN THE WINDOW AND SIDING BUSINESS WHICH HE TAUGHT TO ME. SOMETHING I DID OFF AND ON UNTIL I RETIRED. SO A FEW YEAR BACK I BUILT A WEB SITE FOR HIM ARKANSAS WINDOWS AND SIDING AS HE IS STILL IN THE BUSINESS AND OWNS HIS OWN COMPANY NOW AND STILL HARD AT WORK ALTHOUGH NOW IN HIS 70'S. HE HAS BEEN SAYING HE'S GOING TO RETIRE, BUT I'VE BEEN HEARING THAT FOR MANY YEARS NOW. I THINK THE MAN REALLY LIKES HE WORK AND WILL BE THERE UNTIL HE MEETS THAT OLD GRIM REAPER WE ALL HAVE TO FACE ONE DAY. AT ANY RATE I STILL MAINTAIN HIS WEBSITE AND FROM TIME TO TIME PUBLIC A SHORT POST WITH THE SITES ADDRESS HOPING TO DRIVE SOME TRAFFIC TO IT. SO IF YOU LIVE IN ARKANSAS PARTICULARLY THE LITTLE ROCK AREA AND ARE IN THE MARKET FOR QUALITY INSULATED REPLACEMENT WINDOWS OR PREMIUM VINYL SIDING VISIT JOHN HERE AND HE WILL COME OUT AND GIVE YOU A FREE QUOTE ON YOUR HOME IMPROVEMENT NEEDS. OH, BY THE WAY, JOHN IS A GREAT CONSERVATIVE---WE HAD AN ELECTION PARTY IN 1980 WHEN RONALD REAGAN WAS ELECTED. WHAT A NITE! WE WERE BOTH HUNG OVER FOR DAYS AFTER THAT NITE. DAMN, THOSE WERE SOME GREAT DAYS!!!!
That was indeed cause for a celebration. ☺
