Don Teoro,
Great interview! Thanks for all the advice you’ve given me over the years on business, life and marriage. Keep up the good work!
Hey Mr. Teoro -
After all of these years, I’m still proud of you, and looking up to you as always. From the times that you saved me from getting into senseless fights in the cafeteria at Bogan H.S.; to the big brother talks you had with me when we went away to college at Johnson Bible. I’ll always call you my big brother.
