Greetings Tim,
You’ve done a really nice job archiving your jouney. You have a writing style and wit that makes your ‘lesson plan’ easy and fun to read. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Allan;
There wouldn’t be a story if it wasn’t for you. You somehow saw the value in getting Jon and I to join forces and develop a business. You persisted at the effort until we understood you were right. And you have encouraged me to share our entrepreneurial journey and the sequential development of our business sensibilities to help those that have similar aspirations. I appreciate all that you have done, and the the kind word and support.
Best ~ Tim
