Program at library offers summer fun EGR Continued from page 45 Chapman said he would go so far as to personally deliver parts if his customers are ever in a bind and need expedited service. “We really try and help people out,” he said. “That’s what my grandfather would have done.” Reyman passed away 10 years ago this September, but he has left a legacy to his family and his customers. Chapman said .his grandfather had a history of cultivating more than business relationships with his clients. “He would always ask people about their kids and family vacations,” Chapman said. “People still call asking about him.” This loyal customer base was crucial in staying aoat during tough times, but it isn’t just word of mouth and customer loyalty that keeps the company in business. Chapman said the company has gained a reputation for having parts long out-dated or simply hard to come by. “(My grandfather) would order 1,000 pieces if somebody would order 100,” Chapman said. This ordering technique has left the company with a huge supply of inventory from a wide range of years, materials, nishes and models. Chapman said they have parts produced by manufacturers out of business for decades. “Some of these parts are nearly impossible to nd elsewhere.” Chapman said. “I have had several customers call me a lifesaver.” Phil Thompson has been repairing auto and household radios since the mid-70s. He has come to EGR Company when looking for “odd sized nuts” needed to t his antique radios. “They really saved the bacon on several occasions,” Thompson said. “I am glad to see they are still around … they were certainly there when I needed them.” a a l Garden • Arcadia High • Peo op p p p s o o • St. Theresa • Basketball • Ki id d ds i se e eu ums • Softball • Shemer Art • Ch hr r ri r Vo o o ol lleyball • Neighborhood News • Sp po o or N te e e er rtainment • Ingleside • Football • N N N a en n n nt ts • Squaw Peak • Recreation • Dram m m ma a d Da a an nce • Church News • Hopi • Arc ca a a n l lt t th & Fitness • Arts & Entertainme e en n a s s • Hopi • Football • Desert Botani ic c c ca S a ad d d dia High • People • Phoenix Zoo • S S a as s sketball • Kids • Tavan • Museums s h h er A l w w w Peak • Recreation • Drama • Baseb ba a a hu u ur rch News • H i Discover your new dentist.

What’s a Domestic Partnership Agreement? Domestic Partners is a term used today to refer to people who live together but who are not married. Today, many older adults live with a brother or a sister, and they would be con- sidered Domestic Partners. Domestic Partners also include same sex couples or nonmarried, heterosexual couples. Domestic Partners usually are very close to each other and know the wishes of the other. A Domestic Partnership Agree- ment or Property Agreement can set out the partners’ desires about shared living expenses, property ownership and estate planning. Without a Domestic Partner Agreement, family members may get involved and try to prevent a partner from living in the other’s home or using assets as the partners had desired. The Domestic Partner Agreement can put both part- ners at ease that their agreement to share expenses and care for each other is binding. Domestic Partners can also confer legal rights on each other with powers of attorney for finances and health. 3927 E. Indian School Rd.
