My Father

My father was always an entrepreneur and even when he was on someone else's payroll, he was still finding ways to be his own boss and bring in extra money. He once found an abandoned, yet still functional, soda can machine which he hauled to the factory where he worked and loaded with 10 cent cans of Pathmark soda which the machine would dispense for 75 cents. Today he is in his 70's, retired and living in a beat-up little house in Palestine yet he still runs his own little general merchandise store outside of his home.
