When you get a meeting with John Alban for the potential of forming a new partnership, you don't just try to put your best foot forward...you get a new pair of shoes, you buy a new outfit, and get your hair done. So we were all of us looking our best when we made the trip down to Paso to meet with John and Lorraine. Sybil, Chloe, Ivan, Dominic and myself. We had purchased road snacks and we rented a minivan, we were turning heads and looking hot. Unfortunately, Ivan also turned the head of a friendly highway patrolman when he took that Chevy Venture up to 90mph....he really was nice about it.... Oh well, one bad thing, coupled with one better thing; welcome John Alban! We are more than fortunate to have you with us. It was well worth the spit shine and the speeding ticket.
