We will first see a presentation about this successful method and then Tony will be available for questions.

All attendees will receive a copy of Tony’s booklet: “I feel Happy, I feel Healthy, I feel Terrific!”

WW2 veteran, Tony enlisted at 17 straight out of High School and started his career as a. navy medic also known as a pharmacist mate.  He worked for Chicago based “Combined Insurance Company of America” for 37 years. The company’s president, Clement Stone, instilled the importance of PMA, Positive Mental Attitude and later teamed up with Napoleon Hill to author Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude.  Tony was a successful scholar of the method and traveled five of those years to many states as well as to the United Kingdom to teach sales representatives in the art of PMA, a Positive Mental Attitude. The sales people canvassed door to door in businesses on straight commission, and without PMA, it is difficult to deal with the rejection.

After retirement from the insurance business,Tony started a water filter business, which he continued for 27 years and only recently passed the company to his nephew.

Tony started singing in a church choir at age nine. He has sung in Saint John the Evangelist choir for 57 years, in the Northshoremen barbershop chorus for 58 years. and 9 years in the Virtuous Voices of Beverly. His hobbies included carpentry, and cabinet building, plus building grandfather and grandmother clocks.

  • He is only 90 years old and living proof of the success of maintaining a Positive Mental Attitude
