Our Story

Ronald Reagan delivered his eighth and final State of the Union address, Andre the Giant finally beat Hogan in The Main Event, and Nike's “Just Do It” entered the American vernacular, going on to become one of the most successful campaigns in the history of advertising. 

The U.S. federal debt was a mere $2601.3 billion. A dozen eggs cost 71 cents, a loaf of white bread cost about 60 cents, and a gallon of regular gas was less than a dollar. Prozac hit the pharmaceutical shelf, NASA returned to space for the first time since the Challenger tragedy, and JFK, Jr. was People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. 

“Don’t Worry, Be Happy”, “Never Gonna Give You Up”, “Man in the Mirror”, “Red Red Wine”, "The Living Years”, and the Beach Boys “Kokomo” were all chart toppers that year. “Kokomo”, especially, was all over the radio during our long drive from Connecticut back down to the Florida panhandle, where the family had established roots in 1984 and chose to return as the cradle for establishing American Editorial Services.
