Attn: TAX PREPARERS

I met Gary Halbery at Bill Myer's seminar in Hot Springs, Ark back in 1995, when he and I were "Presenters". At lunch we discovered we BOTH loved "New Ideas" and "Marketing" and "Seeing If our Ideas work". We did a "Joint Venture" with one of my projects and it was a great experience, for me. Talk about a "quick mind"...wow!...Gary's mind goes "a mile a minute".

When he was finished with his presentation on stage, someone asked him to create an ad for "AOL Classifieds" (AOL Classifieds were very BIG back in '95)

He paused for a few minutes....wrote down some notes and "floored us all" with the Ad he came up with. That day, Gary impressed forever, over 100 "Internet Newbies" who later, some became, and are still, "big names" in the "Web Marketing" arena.

We met again at another of Bill Myer's seminars where we were again presenters. Talk about an "impressive" presentation...wow.

I have some of Gary's first few years of his Newletters from back in 1985 thru 1992 (I think) "Gems" of Marketing".

He included some of my ideas and projects in his NL back then. I think he still has a website. And, last I heard, he was spending time in Costa Rica. One guy who I helped get started in the "Fax" biz "retired" there from his profits from the Fax biz. (Hi Eddie...if you see this)

Anyway...thanks for mentioning Gary Halbert....brings up fond memories.
