"Michael titled his post about us Clients as Friends, Friends as Clients. Since were currently working on a wall of cabinets and a fireplace surround for our friends who own Mother Myricks Confectionery, his post is very appropriately titled. Our first project with Ron and Jacki was in 1983 when they opened their candy store in Manchester and we have been friends ever since. I appreciate his publishing our work and encourage you to check out his blog.
