About 70 people from around the country came to dance on Sunday.“It was excellent. Everyone there just had a great time,” pegnataro said. “Those that came guessed it might be their last one.”Pegnataro said he was on cloud nine to bring his wife of 53 years back to the party, and he introduced her to each of his classmates. “Everyone was very excited at the party. Though we had been separated for so many years, the war brought my class closer together,” he said.“We missed out on the party that we should have had.

My co-workers and I would call people and say, “Hey, would you like to buy the Houston Post ?”During my first few weeks, I learned that most people who wanted to buy the newspaper were either moving or getting married. So I thought, “Well, how can I get the names of all these people who are moving or getting married?”I did some research and found out that a lot of that information is legally available to anyone. Once I learned how to get those names and addresses, I sent out offers to buy the newspaper. My experiment was a success! Within my first month on the job, I became the top salesperson.It was simply a matter of finding an opportunity and trying a new way of doing something.Kids have fresh approaches to things, and they often come up with great new ideas.
