I'm probably dating myself but it also shows how times&values
have changed.It used to almost be an INSULT to have someone check your work.Personal pride,just dictated that you did it right.
My real name is Thomas Ahern.My nickname&the name that most people know me by is actually Irish.
Years ago,a customer was paying me for a just finished motorcycle.When filling out the check,he asked"How do you want
this made out?Tom Ahern?"I said "yes"He said,I looked for Irish in
the phone book,but couldn't find him and you're supposed to be the next best!When I told my wife about it that night,there was no suprise.You automatically took pride in being good.The next time,I had business cards printed,I did have them put:
Proprietor:Thomas J(Irish)Ahern Irish
