Thank you Marilyn. You gave me friends who provided many fun memories for me and whose children became friends of my children. You gave me fun stories & memories. You gave me a job" you recommended I switch to residential real estate & actually arranged my position for me. 35 years later, I'm still doing the same thing. I am grateful to you and your family.
