After two years as the 3M Wilmington branch sales supervisor, I was promoted to branch manager. Manager status was an important position in our company and I felt proud to be at that level.
With the promotion, a family move was approved, so dear wife, Ruth, began house hunting in Wilmington. It didn't take her long to find a brand new house, a larger house and lot than our current one, with a small stream running at the foot of the property. SOLD!
The question now was how long would it take us to sell our New Jersey home? It was accomplished in record time. The Anderson Family, sans dear daughter who was away at school, moved excitedly into Delaware. Dear son opted to spend his senior year in a Wilmington high school. Oh, yes, the dog and cats came along!
It was a relief to drive one mile to the office instead of 35 miles which I had previously traveled. It also made my time as a manager more efficient, as I could cultivate our key accounts in Delaware - such as the DuPont and Hercules Powder Companies and the Dover Air Force Base.
One year after our move, dear son was accepted for study at the University of Delaware. Another family highlight.
More, later.
