FORTE'S is 30 years old!!!

[mike forte]

Hi Guys,
FORTE'S has less than 30 days to complete 30 years in business. Yes it was November of 1981 that I rented a small storefront on Moody Street in Waltham. I finally got the phones connected and working on December 27th. That has been my anniversary every year since. I can't believe time has gone by so fast. I've sold tons & tons of parts for sure. Jesse has been building and running engines for over 4 years here.
What a trip it's been!!!! Thanks for all of your business over the years. Without you I could not have survived this long.
So who here remembers Forte's store on Moody Street?
I might have a small party to celebrate this milestone depending on how many might attend...

Congratulations Mike, running a business is tough and rewarding all at once. I know it is not always easy, we are glad you are here.

Congratulations Mike. 30 years in this economy is very impressive. I remember Moody St very well (parking sucked). I was amazed how you knew where parts were as there was no rhyme or reason on where you stored them (to me). I also remember your move to Burlington, MA - next to the Autoparts store with that nice restaurant to the left that made great sandwiches.

Mike,

Congratulations on 30 years. Lots of ups and downs over the years, but you have hung in there. Enjoyed talking with you earlier this week and thanks for the tech advice on the CNC dual master cylinder. It works great and looks great, as well.
