Hey, check it out, we're in the Yale Daily News.

The author misquotes, however, it's supposed to read "fairly traded" coffee.

Ha ha.. Well your legendary status is in good standing. So no worries about that.

Yeah I really enjoyed my tour around Dillanos. You have such a great company. And the people down there are amazing.

Kate and Eric own Sound Provisions. That party was great fun. I had a good time there.

Hope all is well and it was great to hear back from you. Take care.. keep in touch. Talk to you soon.

yeah, I mean I guess its better being called "terry's son" than "that drunk guy" or "that drunk prick" or "HEY, YOU CAN"T DO THAT"... eh, its a tough life. It was definitely great to meet you too.

try to keep Phil in line, he can be a handful. Late.

Hi! Things are good - still not back working in coffee, but I am working, which is good! Enjoying summer in MI and still plugging away w/ biz plans. Coffee Fest is on the table, but not looking likely since we're going to Costa Rica in Nov. (yeah!!!) I'd really love to see Seattle, but maybe Chicago '09 will work out instead. I'm sure we'll run into each other again sometime down the line. Take care - it was great to hear from u!
