The second of my five careers was in office furnishings. I started working as a sales rep for General Office Products in 1971. Roy Utne was part owner of General Office Products. Shortly after I started working there, Roy called me into his office and said: “Osberg, if you get a 10 and a 2 and a meaningful lunch, you will be falling off of your billfold.” It is not easy to get a 10 and a 2 and a meaningful lunch.
I did have a “10” yesterday at The Local Blend with my good friend Chris who runs the Avon Hills Folk School. They offer a host of workshops and events like their 2nd annual Avon Hills Maple Syrup Tasting, Pancake Feed & Social which will be held on Sunday April 27th starting at 9 in the morning at Milk & Honey Ciders southwest of St. Joseph.
