<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calisto MT",serif">Today is my Retirement Day after 48 years of working for Gotham founders Fred Klein and Nancy Schess (Nancy not quite so long!). It has been a wonderful 48 years, and today
Fred topped it off with an awesome retirement gift from our law firm, Klein Zelman Rothermel Jacobs & Schess.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calisto MT",serif">It all involved Networking, of course. Knowing that I collect early American antique bottles, Fred reached out to Gotham member Burt Fendelman, fine arts/antiques consultant,
to inquire how to find an antique bottle for my collection. Now that is not an easy task, since adding a bottle to one’s collection normally is a subjective thing. Fortunately, Burt referred Fred to Norman Heckler of Woodstock, CT, who has been an antique
bottle auctioneer/collector for many years. Norman further referred Fred to Jeff Noordsy, bottle dealer/collector of Middlebury, VT. I’ve been customer of both Norman and Jeff for many years, so they know what I like. Jeff handpicked a bottle for me, a
delicate yellow Chestnut Flask, mouthblown ca. 1780-1830. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calisto MT",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calisto MT",serif">I will treasure it forever both for Fred’s networking and for the bottle itself.
