Got the joy of catching up with one of my former Gen Art teammates today for one drink before she had to head out of Chicago. It was a glorious 45 minutes and she then sent the photo to 10 of our former colleagues from Gen Art’s glory days. Was a step in time to a great time for us and hopefully others.
While you can’t put a genie back I. The bottle, you can stay connected to those who made life a little brighter. Today was one of those moments. Thanks, Dana! 💫
