Although it is just me featured on page 135 of the book, I have to add that the corporation was created by me and my husband DaveDewbre in 2002, and it was our combined skills that amalgamated into the perfect fusion to sustain the business. Also, I must give credit to our most excellent team of web designers, warehouse staff and tech support people for a job well done in keeping the daily chores going smoothly and the corporation growing

I didn't have an easy time learning all of this web stuff, I had to force myself most of the time. But perseverance has paid off.
