Any old Fisons reps or DMs out there?

















Wow, can't believe all the posts. It's Michelle from Southern NY. Back where I started years ago. Began with Fisons in 87 and left after the RPR merger in the FL area. Went into sales and training in oncology with Schering and moved back to NY with Alza until the JNJ buyout. Then did and still do training consulting. Would love to go to a reunion, if you are still checking this Cindy will you let us know if there is another? Is JF still in NY? He trained me when I was in Joe F.'s district.
 




















I had forgotten about the San Fran meeting WOW. However there were some good ones.

Palm Springs when the 4 tops came out

Orlando when we go a whole day off.

PS I still have some of my old luggage from those meetings:)

Oh the luggage a new piece every meeting Tom parker must have owned a part of the luggage company or maybe Steve cutrona's cousin
 








Since this thread asks about old Fisons reps, I was wondering if there any OLD Pennwalt reps still out there after the massacre at S/A?


Started my career with Pennwalt in '79 based in the LA, CA Area. Bob Granik was my original DM. I left in '86 before the Fison's buyout. I have very fond memories of that company and team. It was a different industry then ... a lot more fun!
 








I remember the La Costa meeting. Also, The Breakers meeting in south Florida..remember that? Some of the best meeting food I've ever had! We saw Jerry Lewis in the lobby. Fisons was a good company. It was my first pharma job, and I feel I received very good training that prepared me for this career.
 




i rode up in the elevator at Breakers meeting with Don Johnson when MIami Vice was the show too watch. He looked at me pretty weird, as I was taking an award back to room. I said I like your shoe, he said " thanks dude". My claim to fame celebrity conversation
 








The news about Epipen reminded me when we promoted it. Such a cool drug, and so much fun to demo/sell it. It cost $30 when we had it. Hard to believe, after 24 years it managed to go to $600. We had so many quirky niche products....what a great time and company. Some of my other all time favorites were Pediapred, Delsym. Americaine Otic.

Great products. One of my favorites was Kondremul. The old mineral oil based stool softener. You can still buy it! I used to get little sample bottles sent to me and sometimes they leaked on their way to me. A bit of a mess! Peds loved the stuff. I liked Vitron-C, too. I miss those days.
