My favorite buddy David Carly, was twenty when his dad went on and left him over 2 million in his estate. Now Dave had always been different from all of us. We would have twenty dollars and get together and find the quickest way to spend it. Not Dave, he would get his money, how much ever it was, and half would go in his bank, and the other half he would toss in towards what ever we were headed to do. His Dad was that breed, and his family were the wealthiest family I knew personally.

So Dave took his money and purchased the electric space heater business. Now that was 1980. By about 1990 or so, that same corporation was worth about twenty times what he payed for it. His electric space heater investment had payed off, and payed off big. We remained in touch over the decades and he got married to Cathy, had six children, including Michael, who was a real bright kid.

By now, 2015, Micheal was pretty much managing things at the Fireright electric space heater business, and they were doing very well. The country had just barely begun to recover from the second great depression of 2009. Dave and I were spending a lot of time together recently, and since George had been killed, George was another one of our good lifetime friends, our families had been seeing a lot of each other.

George and his loved one had lost there lives in a truck accident just a few months ago, and it had done wonders to draw the old friends back together. We would sit around the portable electric fan heater and talk about the old times and catch up on the years past, and as I saw it this was what life was about.
