I had a different blog set for this morning, but something Fred said in our Philadelphia Gotham meeting last night prompted me to save the planned blog for another day, and write about the author. Fred is an amazing person. We all know this, and we surely have told him the same. Fred chooses the best in all of us and draws it to the surface. Like a gardner, he waters those talents and makes sure they get plenty of sunshine to grow strong. His greenhouse, called Gotham, provides the right climate to the beautiful garden of people filling the cities and boroughs with “what goes around comes around” . Take a minute and give back to Fred, what he’s given to you through this amazing collection of unique flowers... Fred, thanks for believing in me and encouraging me to take smart chances! “Can do, Carly” The Freckled Strawberry, she can, so she will.
