[Jayhawk-chapter] nuts sales, iowa

[James H. "Jim" Canaday M.A. N6YR]

Cindy, here's what I was responding to from your last mail:
you wrote "
I have a lot of thoughts on this topic, but I'll leave it to you to 
ask me if you want to know anything. Been selling here for the past 
11-12 years, and sold when we were selling for Kansas in Lawrence; I 
think that this was the same company that they used when Dean Stanzel 
was nut sales chairman. Could be wrong about that. Never thought to 
say that to Susan when she asked.
Cindy"

---so, ...  I asked you.

labor intensive. I bet, but  I think we could overcome that with an 
organization of a group "work day" and put many hands 
to  it.  however, the health, safety, and sealed packaging issues are 
pretty serious to me and I agree with Susan.
now, when you did sales in Lawrence, you did events and individual 
sales, right?
