Hello to all of my friends from the Jewel, Turn*style, Savon and Osco families As I approach my 26th year of retirement from our wonderful company, I want to reach out and express my appreciation to all of you that I’ve encountered, worked with or worked for over the years We moved numerous times Early in my career from Chicago to Boston, Grand Rapids, Marion, Kokomo, Arlington Heights and Wheaton IL.

It was a partly cloudy day with temperatures at 65+ degrees on the patio of the general store in Scottsdale where 11 unique individuals gathered for brunch and recollecting conversations.
