The 1972 team. All my teams played with all they had. I was proud of them all.

1981.
St. Paul Office Products team. Best salespeople ever. The next year IBM broke up the Division. About the same time the corporate brain trusts gave Bill Gates the DOS operating system. Dah? (Timer pic—ran to middle, front, all laughed.)

2000.
My last IBM sales team. 27 years on quota, 23 100% clubs. We worked out of home offices, scattered through the midwest. Meetings were welcomed fun.

2004.
62nd birthday—Social Security and 11 of the 18 lake trout caught. Over Stannard Rock—40 miles into Lake Superior. My next book starts in Lake Superior.
