He even had these "poor" people just pulling scads of crabs and fish out of the water for dinner that people pay hundreds of dollars for in the big cities.<br /><br />I guess a lot of people couldn't see the beauty of that.blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430444326700437630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-41341660038543977002012-07-31T16:50:11.104-07:002012-07-31T16:50:11.104-07:00That's good to hear.

She started in New Haven but was sent to Chicago in the early 80's to revive the midwest office. One of her best alumni was Gene Siskel. He would speak to small groups, large groups, whatever he could to help his alma mater. A genuinely nice man.ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.com
