How's that old fart doing? Last time I saw Jim was at the local Mexican joint across the street drinking a beer telling stories.
This month is my 23rd anniversary with the company.

wow you have been there a long time. He is doing just fine. Him and my uncle founded Ramteq pressure washers so that is what they are doing now. My uncle was in the first 50 Compaq employees, i believe.

Do you remember Charles Lee, Marvin Bowerman, Rick Smith, Roy Castillo? any of those names ring a bell.

are you talking about El Palenque???
