T&D: I Have Been Lucky To Have Such Mentors In My 1st 3 Years In the Biz

… And To Have Captured & Acquired So Many On Video

Most of the following 24 videos are mine – shot and produced by me. Some are simply in my possession – provided to me by the subject of the videos.

I have posted them in the order that I was introduced to them, and their work, between 1979 and 1982.

I was introduced to them and their work at Wickes Lumber beginning in August of 1979; then at the NSPI Chapter of Detroit beginning in September of 1979; then at the NSPI national Conference in Dallas in April 1980; then at work for Motorola beginning in June 1980; and then at the Chicago Chapter of NSPI beginning in 1981.

I share all of these that you might learn something about them, and from them.
