Yes, I’m a very proud father. And, here’s some beautiful music. Three of our children sing in a cappella groups. Two of them, who are of age, competed in a state music competition.

Do you “like” and “respect” someone? But, do you “trust” that person? I learned about that today. This morning, I spoke with a potential executive hire for one of our companies.
