Anniversary of a turning point in my Merrill Anderson career

 It was 40 ago today that President Reagan signed the Economic Recovery Tax Act into law.  I helped turn that event into significant profits for the Merrill Anderson Company, co-writing brochures on the benefits of the new law and on IRAs, because they became available to everyone with wages.  I did well enough that the firm's owners began grooming me for future ownership.

You would have made it without Reagan's help, but happy anniversary anyway!
