F5 n mm FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1993 USINESS Slow economy breeds new entrepreneurs When interior design jobs slowed Pat Deronde turned her talents to children‘s clothing and Weebodies was born By NANCY ALEXANDER Special to the Beaver In today‘s everâ€"tightening job market, flexibility can be the key to staying employed.
