I think he did local stuff, too. But he'd fly to meet w the regional managers.

I, and my sister's refrain was "what did you bring us, daddy?!". 😄

I digress. Anyway, my dad was visiting the rep in Alberquerque, NM. The rep and dad got along well, and he and his wife hosted both my sister, then me; separate occasions for 1 or 2 nights years later when we each made a cross country trip.
Ok, more digression, Happy memories!

It was one of those years where they got a really good rain. The desert bloomed!!! The rep drove him around to see the flowers outside the (much smaller then) city. What a generous, and wonderful experience!

I'm a temperate clime NYC'r. I loved visiting Puerto Rico. Loved visiting the Rockies (via my cousin) outside of Denver.
And I love the high desert of Arizona!
The colors! It's sculpturalness! Two summer vacations in a row.
