Got to learn that he car raced professionally and was really good at it too. Who would have thunk that an insurance guy was once a professional car racer. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Or like Barry Newman, you travel in the summer downpours from Manhattan. The kind that sometimes make you have to pull over because you just can’t see the road in front of you. Just to pick up his Mom to take her out on a date with his wife and him to our clambake. Rhoda Newman who is always up for fun any time, not only kvells about Barry and Ellen, but tells the story about spending time with friends at Capt Bills earlier in the day and that she is a frequent flyer there. I also learned that she and I went to the same two colleges within a few years of each other. The first was SUNY Farmingdale. The second was Empire. The difference was she is about 25 years older than me. Good for Rhoda and it was fun bonding with her, Ellen, and Barry that way. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ladies, most of the men wore shorts and shirts. I was hoping we could line them up and take a pix of them showing off their legs. Most of all we had a great group of people who were fun to hang around. There was some business that got accomplished in the process. Some newbies who were first learning about us, and some circuit riders who made their Friday night date night at our Clambake. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The food was aaamaaaazzzing. Capt Bills never disappoints. The staff service was terrific. Jason know how to make a party. And everyone that came was there to just have fun. While the rain dampened may a trip that night, we were outside enjoying the warm breeze over the water. Join us next year and make it Gotham’s the event of the Summer. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Warmest Regards<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ester Horowitz,<span style='font-size:8.0pt'> CHC, MBA<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>516.318.8655<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt'><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/esterhorowitz">https://www.linkedin.com/in/esterhorowitz</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:5.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>Schmoozeworthy Networking Notes©<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>“Impossible is just a word thrown around by small men<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>than to explore the power they have to change it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>Impossible is not a fact.
