time. He also spends time
with his three children,
referees youth hockey games
and is preparing for his se-
cond marriage in June.
Hartman's oldest son,
Mike, 22, is the only Jewish
hockey player in the National
Hockey League. He plays for
the Buffalo Sabres. John
often flies to other cities to see
Mike play.
He catches the other
games on TV via his satellite
dish. His daughter Michele,
19, is a student at Central
Michigan University while
son Rickey, 18, lives at home
and plays youth hockey.
John's schedule is so busy
he puts it on his computer,
complete with birthdays,
Mike's hockey schedule and
dinners with fiancee Tammy
Hall.
"I don't jump out of bed at
7 a.m., but there's always a
conflict?'
When that happens,
"there's no decision, the kids
come first, that's always been
the way it was."
Hartman's schedule will
not change after he is mar-
ried. "I don't think Tammy
would want me to change; I
wouldn't want her to change."
Hartman met Tammy
four and-one-half years ago
when she came to work at
Post. After their engagement,
she left to start a business she
named Hartman Travel.
Hartman says many peo-
ple ask if his son has seen
discrimination in hockey. He
says that has never happened
because Mike is respected for
his work habits.
"It's the same thing in
business," he says. "I'm fair in
business. I'm fair to my
employees. I am fair to my •
suppliers. I pay all of my bills
right on time. I never miss.
And they look at me as John
Hartman, businessman. They
don't care what my heritage
is."
Hartman says he directs
most of his charitable con-
tributions to Jewish organiza-
tions. His brother-in-law,
Michael Maddin, president of
the Jewish Community
Center, guides his decisions.
As he approaches his 20th
anniversary in the wallpaper
business this Octobter, Hart-
man says - "never in my
wildest dreams," did he envi-
sion the type of success he has
enjoyed. "I'm very fortunate.
A lot of hard work. For the
first 15 years, every day, every
night, (at the) computer ter-
minal at my home . . . A lot of
lean years, it wasn't always
like this."
Without being asked, he
concludes, "Yes, I would do it
again." -
