Mr. Schmetzer,
Best wishes in your new venture. Your background appears well rounded equipping you for the next new challenges. If you get the notion to write a book on the C & A industry perhaps a sequel to author Denis Ashworth?s GOING UP INTHE WORLD put me on your list for a beta test Editor or as a customer.
