Two years ago I was directed to this web site from one of yours, "Nancy Beaudette". I had been to her shop to apply for a job.This due to previous employer, local sign shop, selling to big company and moving into town 60 km away. I used to be shop foreman and was looking into staying in the sign business. Nancy took the time to look at my portfolio and was the one that told me to stay in this line, but had no job opening. She also suggested I start my own shop, localy in my village, Casselman, On. since my former employer was moving out and they would certainly be a need for a shop. Best advice I've ever had from a person I had just met for aprox. 45min. A month later June 12th 2002. I jump in and started "Exit66 Signs & Graphics"and as per Nancy suggestion I went and visited Letterville.WOW!!!!
I've been lurking this place since then. I've learned lost of stuff from this place and attribute a good part "Exit66" success to the info I got from all you gals & guys.I'm more of the quiet watch and learn type, at least that's what I think. The "better half" says that I can't stop once I start, talking that is. he he he! I guess this is enough for my first post.
Thanks again Letterville and keep on helping all of us succeed for many more years
