page 89 & 90 - Belport Furniture


My favorite story about Belport Furniture is how he convinced the owner of the building to sell him the building when he was just renting the first floor. He kept asking the owner and she would always respond the same way with a no I'm not ready to sell. Well, my Grandpa Wally was a clever man. He would brew a stinky brew of only God know what just below the vent that went up to her floor so the aroma would stink up the building. He did this day after day, finally he called down the owner of the building and brought her over to his long upolstery table which was covered with a large pile of money. He had gotten what he was willing to pay for the building in small bills in cash and piled it up on the table. When the owner saw all this money she quickly jumped at the chance at selling the building. Smart man!

page 133, 134,135, 136 & 137 - Alan Wendt & Jacquie Haubl

My Mom & Dad, Alan & Jacquie, met through Jerry Zanone. Janice was dating Jerry and he was a friend of my Alan's. Alan lived across the street from Jacquie but they never knew each other until then. To get to know each other Alan would ask Wally if he could go skiing with them.Alan & Jacquie renewed their wedding vows on their 40th wedding anniversary. They had the ceremony performed by a blind pastor that has a doberman pincher for his seeing eye dog.
