Thank you to Marianne M. who came to work at our office more than 10 years ago as a 19 year old who had never spent much time outside of her Philadelphia neighborhood. She answered a bland ad for someone who can type and work with people in stressful circumstances. Within the first 10 minutes of the interview, she had figured out that the people interviewing her were a married couple who worked together in the same small firm. She then asked, "How do youz (pronounced with a hard z sound by any true Philly native) stand each other if you are together so much?" Over the last decade we have been through so much together including the death of Marianne's parents. For the last 5 years, we have watched Marianne raise her brother, Jesse, and in turn we have seen the fruits of her labor as he grows into an outstanding young man. Marianne saved enough money to purchase a home in the suburbs of Philadelphia so that Jesse can attend a better school and enjoy a quiet neighborhood setting. Now Marianne has assumed so much by agreeing to stand on the front lines of our firm while we fulfill the dream of traveling with Roman and Mabret. Thanks, MM. We love you.
Marianne and Jesse chillin in suburbia.
Battery dying. Tomorrow we meet Ray and Ed.
