After that I moved into the Office Manager role. With the movement of our branch manager to vice president in our San Francisco corporate office I was promoted to Branch Manager. Unforeseeable to most of us was Photo & Sound Company going out of business. This was due to a number of reasons including the earthquake in 1989 which caused us to loose our corporate office in downtown San Francisco due to it being condemned. If not for that I might still be working for Photo & Sound Company as I always enjoyed both the company, and my fellow employees. Windstream Wholesale
