Throughout the course of my life I have met some extremely colorful characters.  I have a large circle of people who I am happy to call friends.  I have a lot of clients that I work for that I don’t really consider friends.  I want to tell you about a couple that fall into the former group. These folks originally joined my group of acquaintances by becoming customers of mine. I was approached to update their existing business...
