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.  You can learn more at www.avonhillsfolkschool.org
