Hello Jim. I hope this is not inappropriate, but I saw you on Channel 5 News tonight regarding the Chaska Bakery. I’m not sure if you remember me, but I worked with you at Ernst & Young back in the day as admin. Ironically you came up in conversation just last week. I learned a lot from you and you left a lasting impression in my life. I wish you and your family well.
Best Regards.
Ellen
