Here are a few phrases I hear all too often: It won't change anything. They won't care. It's too much trouble. It takes too much time. You can't expect much. Why bother? I'll confess I've been guilty of using those excuses, too, when confounded by my own consumer problems. Recently, for example, I encountered bad service at four different locations of the same home improvement business and, instead of calling or writing someone to resolve my complaints, I just brushed it off because I was pressed for time.

As a teen-ager, he played the bugle for the Sons of the American Legion Drum and Bugle Club. He remained active in City College alumni affairs. Mr. Hornstein, who earned a Certified Life Underwriter certificate through the Johns Hopkins University, was an agent for Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. and later started his own firm, Insurance Originators, on Park Heights Avenue.

"An iris was just another flower to me, before I met Bruce Hornstein: a purple flower at the end of a long, green stick."The speaker is Anne Haley, whose pets were patients of Dr. Hornstein, a retired veterinarian, for five years. She adds: "I was surprised that a vet would also be such an avid gardener, but he came out to our garden club [Mount Washington] and gave a program on irises for us. It just made it come alive for me. He was wonderful."Some Sundays, Hornstein can be found at the Farmers' Market behind the Bob Evans Restaurant on Belair South Parkway at Route 24, about three miles south of Bel Air. There his mission is not simply to sell some of the many flowers he grows, but to share their beauty with passers-by and educate all who care to hear about the hardy, colorful perennials.

When he was 11 years old, Arnold Hornstein tried to break in to a neighborhood car dealership. The new 1961 Chevrolet Biscaynes and Bel Airs were hidden under tarps on the lot, ready for the ritual autumn unveiling. And Arnold was crazy for an early peek.On a morning 31 years later, Mr. Hornstein sips coffee while he surveys another Chevrolet lot, lined with 1992 Cavaliers and Corvettes.There are no tarps. No secrets.And no customers."This used to be a big event," says Mr. Hornstein, a salesman at Fox Chevrolet in Woodlawn for 13 years.
