Medicare Questions
What kind of reaction has the
magnet gotten?
"Parents see it and say, `Why didn't
I think of that?' I've given people
magnets off of my car?'
How did you develop the magnet?
We took a soccer magnet off the car
and started playing with it — with
the words and design. We made
friends with a man at Kinko's. And
our husbands have been very sup-
portive. Franci's husband, Larry,
did our Web site. My husband, Bob,
has done marketing?'

Franci, what is your main mar-
ket?
"We hope parents will use it for the
safety of their kids, but we'd like
driving schools to buy them and
distribute them as gifts when kids
get their permits. They can be cus-
tomized with a company logo, Web
site address and phone number.
And the Michigan Senate is con-
sidering requiring an 'V on vehicles
used by learners. We've written the
sponsor about using our magnets
instead and requiring driving
schools to buy them and build it
into the cost of the school!'
Carolann, will this project become
full time?
"The intention is not to give up
our day jobs, but there is passion
behind it. We want to give kids
more confidence, to keep roads
safer and to develop better driv-
ers?' ❑
