At the Inside Out Communications 30th anniversary party, of course.
We had an amazing combination of clients, very old and very new; team members, also, some very old and others, very recent; friends, all of them tried and true, and cool neighbors from our building.
Of course, Matt created the ideal combination of classy and funky invitations; Greg Hayes found us a perfect band; Becky put together tray after tray of greens and yummies; Kelly organized and pretty-fied left and right; Larry cooked some delicious Del Terruño beef and Maria made her famous Chimichurri – which disappeared in a matter of minutes. And what did I do? Mostly, I cried, and hugged. Oh well. Thank God for Maybelline. How could I not tear up when I saw our much loved art director Brian Latham, who came all the way from Houston, Texas, to help us celebrate? Or when Bill Goodchild and his wife walked in? They were clients from 28 years ago, and our first industrial clients, too. And Pauline Dzengelewski was here, even though she had badly injured a foot, and climbing to the fourth floor was no fun for her. She is now with Dedham Savings but 28 years ago, she was our client at West Newton Savings Bank. Tyrone Pinkham did sales for us in another life, way before E.R.; Steve Sellew was a client a good 20 years ago and he was here, and so was Joe Bartlett, who believed in us and hired us to help launch HarvardNet, one of our most exciting and glamorous accounts ever.
