My very first sales trip with Jefferson Productions was to Ohio. Wayne Upchurch had just been made Sales Manager since John R. [Reichard] had headed down to Atlanta to get rich with Jimmy Collins. Wayne went with me to “show me the ropes,” and as we were driving from Dayton to Cincy, Wayne pointed out the Wright Brothers Museum to me, and said, in all honesty: “You can do that museum, take in a couple of movies, get lunch and still have time to get to the hotel for dinner.”

The boy had his priorities!!
