Talk to vendors at any of the area's bridal fairs, and you'll see that they work hard to create networks of complementary products and services, which can net visibility and referrals - the best way to win the hearts of brides-to-be and their mothers. "Referral is where we get most of our business," said Mike Folchi of Folchi's Formal Wear. "Eight out of 10 brides that come in with their groom have been in a wedding for which we provided the tuxes. We also get customers for weddings that rented prom outfits from us." .
Faith, love make a marriage last
Believing in Gods work helps in our lives in so many ways, said Peg.
The couple was introduced through a cousin after Bob served in the U.S. Navy for three years and was attending college. Peggy was working at the telephone company.
Rushing into a marriage is a mistake many young couples might make. Bob and Peg dated for four years before getting married.
I was a little slow, joked Bob. I was without a car, so I had to borrow my cousins to go on a date because I lived in the 25 Location and Peg lived in the Kingsford Heights.
The couple was married on Aug. 4, 1951, at St. Mary Queen of Peace Church in Kingsford with Fr. Joseph Gondek officiating.
They agree that couples must work at their marriages. For them, part of that work was sharing the duties of their home and sharing responsibilities in raising their three children
Working together as a team is also something they have done.
The Case for the Colombia FTA
The Colombia FTA is a trade agreement even Lou Dobbs could love, because it rectifies what is currently an unbalanced, one-way free trade relationship. (...) Ninety-two percent of imports from Colombia currently enter the United States completely duty free. It has been that way for 16 years, since Congress first passed the Andean Trade Preferences Act that gave Colombia access to our market as a way to reduce poverty and fight the drug trade. (...) Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle (...) voted strongly in favor of these one-way preferences the last time they were up for renewal. Don't believe me? Here is a shopping bag of products. Let's compare some prices: [A] can of Colombian coffee comes into the United States duty-free. But this bottle of Pepsi, made in the USA, pays a stiff 20 percenttax when sold in Colombia. [A bouquet of] beautiful Colombian flowers – a major Colombian export – come into our market and pay zero tariffs. But this U.S.-made fertilizer, which helps those flowers grow, is charged up to 15 percent when exported to Colombia.
