Denis and Gary have always been idols/mentors to me and have given me so much of what I have today. Becker is the one who helped me get my start and was so generous to not only introduce me to Denis and Gary, but share so much of his own ideas and wisdom with me. I am a direct result of so many others sharing and giving to me. It's my career mission to give back everything. I'm proud to be your friend DJ and can't wait to see what you do next to take this industry to new heights!<BR/><BR/>p.s.

I wasn't rolling my eyes... but if I was sitting in front of you while you said "Gary Fong is a genious" then I would smack you! lol jk<BR/><BR/>Gary is my bear man and he is goofy, fun, loving and also a big dork! I know that he is amazing, but I know him as my bear man. So it's funny sometimes to hear people express how great he is. I have to keep him grounded by following their comments up with things like "shut up stupid" It's a woman thing I think! We are here to keep our men grounded!<BR/><BR/>But I will say that I am his number one fan! He knows his stuff when it comes to business! He might not be able to find his socks or his cell phone, but he knows business. <BR/><BR/>Love you Bear Man!Melissa Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463329763988105921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13946500.post-1163264772591247602006-11-11T09:06:00.000-08:002006-11-11T09:06:00.000-08:00Just awesome man ... all three of those heros crea...Just awesome man ... all three of those heros created and then gave in ways anyone else would have trouble fully appreciating ...

Sorry I missed you on Thursday since you were crashed out in your hotel- I wanted to get YOUR autograph since you're the main reason I could do my first 2 weddings this year with your fantastic products and gracious giving. It's tough starting up with a house full of little kids and still working the "day job", but I just know bookings are coming.

You also never did suck up because you know how much I hate that.
