But her second week in the
shop, a terrible flu felled him,
leaving Debby in charge.
"She handled it beautifully,"
he recalls. Today, he says, "I
trust Debby, not just because
she's my daughter, but because
she's good at what she does."
Paul's wife Shirley buys eye-
glass frames for the shop and his
son-in-law Barnet Leland is an
optometrist who works for the
business. It's not easy not talk-
ing shop.
He and Debby talk about the
cases they see, but they make a
/-- concerted effort to avoid the top-
ic outside of work.
"I think we have a strong
bond that exists beyond the
business, but I don't know if
we'd be as close as we are if we
didn't have the business," Paul
says.
When she had her first child,
/-- Alex, Debby cut back her hours
at work. She now has two chil-
dren— Matthew is 2 1/2 — and
when they're a bit older, she'll
go back full time.
Michigan Optical and Hear-
ing Center has 15 to 17 employ-
ees, including audiologists who
specialize in hearing disorders.
The business is strong — Paul
estimates they have an active
patient base of 10,000 — but it
is one of the few independents
left. Like many specialists, op-
tometrists are abandoning the
expense and hassles of starting
a business and taking jobs in
hospitals or clinics where they
work the hours set by somebody
else.
"I feel lucky to be part of an
independent store. I'm not un-
der time constraints," Debby
says.
'Debby knows it's always here
to come back to," says her father.

LISA SCHOLNICK
At home, she's mom. At work,
she's Sandy.
Her children, Gary and Lisa,
know her well as both.
The Scholnicks are a team
of self-described perfectionists
who sell insurance, annuities,
securities and other financial
products as Scholnick & Associ-
ates. They just moved into a new
suite of offices in Bingham
Farms.
"We have trust and confi-
dence in each other," says Gary,
36. "We have very high expec-
tations."
"I've been taught the insur-
ance industry from Sandy
and my brother," says Lisa, 32,
who founded the company
with her mother. "We encourage
each other, we work hard, we
enjoy achieving goals together,
and there's nothing better than
to enjoy success with your fam-
