	S.B.A. 1997 Small Business Awards Small Business Person of the Year Sam Gromowsky - President Almar Printing, Inc. Sam Gromowsky spent much of his childhood at Father Flanagan's Boys Town in Omaha, Nebraska. It was at Boys Town that Sam was first introduced to the printing classes and trade that would become his life-long career. . In 1964, Sam purchased a small duplicator press with money loaned to him by his father-in-law. Setting the press up in the basement of the duplex he shared with his new wife, Mary, Sam planted the seeds of what would grow into a thriving small business. In the Spring of 1966, the company began to blossom when Sam - with no money, a two-year old son, and a second child on the way - moved his press to a ten-by-twelve foot room above a bar. Combining his mother's name, Alice, with his wife's name, Sam wrote "Almar Printing" on a shingle and opened the door to his one-man operation. > Click here for more on this article.

It seems that five years ago Gromowsky promised the employees of this company at 7735 Wornall Road that if they reached $1 million in sales he would take them all to New Orleans. They finally did, and he paid up this weekend - in a big way. Gromowsky, his wife, Mary, the employees and their spouses - 22 persons in all - made the trip. He chose New Orleans because he considers it one of the top cities in the country for restaurants. > Click here for more on this article.
