Maureen, Fred and I congregated in the basement of my house, warming ourselves in front of the fire that I built (because it was frigid and snowed everyday for a week), sharing one computer, one phone and one fax machine to get our little business off the ground. We were nervous and excited, wanting to fast-forward 6 months to see if we’d catch on. Fred didn’t like the food choices in my pantry (no chips!), but we really got along quite well, and we all lived to tell about it!
