Dear
Dave,
“You are on Mute” or “Can you hear
me” were certainly the catch phrases
of 2020. Have you lost count of the
number of Zoom, Webex, Facetime etc.
meetings you have done with
suppliers, as well as family and
friends?
I guess we are lucky that we still
have these high-tech ways to stay in
touch, both professionally as well
as personally.

Well, even though this Winter isn't
what we hoped for, it is what we
have. I admire all of the agents and
agencies who are hanging in there
and keeping in touch with clients
who can't wait to travel as soon as
they are allowed.
|
Like most of you, I'm staying put
and dreaming of travel. Above is a
sample of my digital art from some
of my photography...close to home.
Stay safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Dave Emery
