sweet

[John Pasterczyk]

Only been at this a handful of years but the most
memorable items thus far are:

1.  A Hockey Goalie Mask from a client that found out
that both my son and I play hockey (however neither of
us play goalie), and

2.  A limited edition plate (the kind you eat off of)
with a picture of the Norman Rockwell painting
entitled "The Piano Tuner" on the face.
