The following note is from Debbie dated 12/8 regarding trying to get information about the Handleman Retirement: I called this morning at 6:30am our time, and went through Handleman's voice mail. I had to spell someone's name and I did what George (Rosenjack) said and went to David Hein and on the message there it said if you have any questions on retirement to go to Ken's box at 371. He also

Hey everyone,I don't want to rain on the parade of everyone's good memories, but I received in the mail today a notice for the annual shareholders meeting. Included in it, is a proxy voting card. They are officially looking to dissovle and liquidate assets. I haven't looked into in depth, but looks kinda like Handleman will be officially gone. It does look like Crave and REPS will continue.

About 30 ex-Handleman folks converged on Doug and Barb Kuennen's backyard for a great get-together on August 23rd. I'm afraid to name names because I know I'll probably forget someone - but we did miss those of you who weren't able to make it (THIS YEAR!). We are seriously planning another "UN-Sales Meeting" - probably late August again next year. We'll pick a weekend and a location (Vegas is

Well, I don't have any incriminating pictures of past sales meetings, but I do have a picture of my brand new grandson to share. Jack Michael (known as Jack-Jack) was born on Monday evening at 11:39 PM and weighed in at 7 lbs, 7 ozs; 20 inches long, and hair to put his 2 year old brother to shame. :-)There is definitely life after Handleman - GOOD life.

Hello to all my old Handleman friends! Haven't talked to a lot of you except for a select few over the past 4 years, but I'm still alive and kicking. After I left the company in 2004, I moved to Abilene, Texas and got a job doing classifieds, obits, and some sports for the Abilene Reporter-News there. Then, in late 2006, my significant other got a job writing for a magazine in Rochester,

WOW, My thoughts and prayers are with all of you! I'm sure many of you now feel a sense of relief as I did when I accepted my severance 3- years ago. You no longer need wonder when will it be your time? You may now get on with your life. Take some time to enjoy your freedom from the Handleman chains. I have been alumni three years now! There is a life after Handleman, even though there does

I think we'll have a hello and some new pictures from Jim Chavez very shortly; let's see if we can get some other ex- and current Handleman/REPS folks to check in and let us know how they're doing. In the meantime, I'll admit that after

This weekend I'll be flying to Minneapolis for some serious Christmas shopping at "The Mall". But the highlight of the trip will be visiting with some old Handleman friends - Pat Blees, DeEtta Marka and hopefully Barb Throngard as well. I may even get to see Bruce Daker too if he's not out chasing down bears or anything. :-)I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and will post next week. Have a

Hi Everyone from Pat Blees, It has been a couple of months now since I have been off and I have to tell you that I am really enjoying life as it is. I am going to be a grandma again in April - my daughter and son in law are expecting and it is so fun to compare notes with Pam as her daughter Jen is expecting in April as well. Actually they are due within a week of each other. So that

Hi all I see Pam is hanging out with Dennis so I thought I would hang out with Pat, now Pat did tell me to bring a coat but I thought I could handle the 55 degree weather until the wind hit me. Then of course it drops to 38 degrees not good ; P It was good to hook up we had lunch and Pat, I blame the cold weather for my clutzy move dropping the dipping sauce all over the place. I think I

Pam checking in from St. Louis, Missouri - where I ran into an old friend! My husband, daughter and I met up with Dennis, his wife and mom at - where else? - the local Hooters Restaurant. :-)It was great to see Dennis again! In early December I'll be flying up to Minneapolis for a long weekend; I'm hoping to meet up with a few other friends from my Handleman days then too. Assuming we get some

BOO!! Okay, I just thought I'd see if you were awake or not. :-)The Daleys are hitting the road tomorrow - first back down to southern California to spend some time with our daughter and a few friends (hi Robert!). Then we will be traveling across the country to relocate in Alabama. We'll be taking I-70 through America's 'heartland' - so if you know of any cool places to see, please let me

Hey there Pam, Robert and everyone else out there in ex-HDL land. It’s Jeff Seymour from Omaha…err – Sioux Falls…no. Ummmmm – oh yeah, Shakopee, MN.I am still working for Handleman – c’mon…everyone say it with me (you too Dave Y & Andy B!) Haaaandlemaaaannnnn.

Hi everyone,Where does the time go. It seems like just yesterday that many of us were in Nashville having a big final bash. While I am not the type to look back a lot I will say that I miss a lot of people from the Handleman of old and I think this is a great idea.I am still with the Handleman/REPS company in the position of Territory Manager/CNT (no comments Robert). I do very little traveling

Okay, when Robert and I set up this blog we were big on it being a positive place, not a lot of negative blah blah blah - but geez!! After yet another day of hearing about friends being laid off, I just have to wonder where this will all end??I do believe there is life after Handleman - and a GOOD life - but being laid off is a bitch, to be blunt. Even when I had a date and KNEW when my job was

Hi guys,Just got back from another interesting meeting in Detroit. Lots going on but not much in music. My territory is now twice as big as it has ever been and I guess I can say the same about myself. I am now waiting for the appearance of my 5th grandchild, (talk about gettin old) not sure what it is, but it might as well be another girl so that I can have 5 granddaughters. My husband and I

Well here goes, Debbie Russo here, of course I got married after I left Handleman, so now I am Lawson. I live in Santa Rosa CA with my husband Mike and love it. Work for Kellogg's Snacks which use to be called Keebler. I feel like I have gone full circle. I work full time, have a company car and drive all over the place. Humm just like Handleman! I was with Handleman from 1984 to 1998 when the

Wow where did time go??? Lots of people out there, where and doing what? It was quite a team! Myself, I left Handleman in 2002 after 11 years. Wanted to get off the road and work in Ridgecrest at a Home Improvement store (from music to hardware it was like learning a different language). Store closed, next I got back on the road as sales rep to a Heavy equipment rental center and off to

Great way to keep everyone in touch Pam. Jerry and i are still in Orange County but are considering moving out of state. I have become an aunt again on July 2, 2007 to a beautiful baby girl named Riley Marie. Other than that, nothing exciting. Hope everyone is doing well. Take Care, Kelly

We've recently installed a "site meter" on this blog to help us see how many times each day someone, somewhere surfs on over to take a look. So far we've got an average of 6 visitors each day, each spending about 5 minutes reading and looking around. So I KNOW you guys are out there! :-) If you want to just lurk without posting any comments, that's okay - Robert and I will do our best to keep

Robert and I thought we'd see if there is any interest in a blog for those of us who are former Handleman employees. Just a place to check in once in a while, let friends know how and what you're doing these days. So many of us worked together for several years (some a lot more than others!) and we are family. We've been through some fantastically fun times, and some dreadfully tough times - but
