The Star Advocate (Titusville Florida) had a special edition, all about the mission (most of it fluff about the astronauts actually (which most of the locals knew was a bunch of BS (but the tourists didn’t))) so she bought several hundred copies and took my brother and me down to the river, sent us out to sell them for 20 cents each.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My sales were slow, until I realized I would have to sell my dignity and shout advertising, like the paperboys in the old-time movies. No kidding, it was either that or walk away with my dignity intact and very little profit. So, I wound up and put some diaphragm behind it. Almost immediately I was surrounded by elderly tourists wanting this special edition newspaper, and most of them let me keep the extra nickel.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We sold the pile of newspapers but I walked away with most of the sales.
