My son shared with me a heartfelt Thank You Note penned by Geno on February 10, 1998. This note was an expression of gratitude for a remarkable birthday gift presented by Carol, the title company closer with whom Geno conducted all his transactions. The occasion was Geno's 60th birthday, and Carol had gifted him a cherished print of downtown Austin from 1938, the year of his birth. What made this gift truly special was the addition of Geno's high school photo with a message that foresaw his future in residential real estate:"Oh yes, I will be here someday. And they will feel my presence permeate throughout every conceivable facet of residential real estate in this town." HEY, THE REST IS HISTORY!!!Fast forward 26 years, and Carol rediscovered this Thank You Note. Now with Carol handling...
