I wrapped three apple slices in each wrapping. I made sure each apple slice was separate from the other. I left three apple slices unwrapped to see how they reacted to not being covered. I predicted that the aluminum foil would protect and keep the apple slices the freshest. Introduction…

In September of 1969, I was five years old, and I started to attend kindergarten. This was the first school year for the newly organized Mid-Valley School District. The new proper name of our school was the Olyphant Elementary School, but we commonly referred to it as the Mid-Valley Elementary School in Olyphant. My classroom was in the part of the building that used to be the Olyphant Central School; the part that was dedicated in 1910. This was the same school building in which my…

This would also help all employees become familiar with all aspects of the business and all the products that the store sells. Flexible scheduling strategies would…
