Four people working in the hospitality industry met in a bar on Toulouse Street in The French Quarter of New Orleans. Over-time they became great friends and when the first one moved away he stated, “our paths will cross again.” Sure enough, over the next three decades, we worked together and apart in cities across the USA, including New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Telluride, Washington DC and of course The Big Easy.
