Vernon Hullet and Diann Hornberger Hullett, both graduates of Cohn High School, have started their own online business.  Let's all help them make a big success out of this venture and buy some of those gifts we buy all year long for different people in our lives from their online store.  Go to Hullett's House of Gifts and take a look.  I was very impressed with their website and the variety of products. These are two of our own who certainly deserve a break - please buy some of your yearly gifts from them especially if you are accustomed to shopping online.
