Hi JDB!

Wow! I am thrilled for your new venture...and I have often wondered/inquired within/sought an answer to HOW to best utilize online auctions to bring me more business....more money in the bank is ALWAYS a good thing!

And I am delighted to see a PICTURE of you there on the site. Since we can't all go to Akron and visit Gordon and Rick (or maybe we should all just pick a date and show up? I am laughing at that thought!! Wouldn't that be a hoot?!?!?!) it is great to connect a picture to the words.

Congratulations again! Continue to til the soil and the result will be a plentiful harvest!

With Purpose and Passion,

JULIE JORDAN SCOTT
