Friday was our last day of business and Robert has been saving this bottle of Crown Royal for nearly 43 years. In 1980 a few weeks before Christmas he bought a case of it to give out as gifts to customers and others who helped us in our first year of business. On Christmas Eve he worked late on a customer’s remodel and had one bottle left which he tried to give away to them. They politely turned down his gift saying they were not alcohol drinkers. He kept the bottle and told me we would open it when we retired. Ironically we live two houses away from that same customer he tried to gift that Christmas Eve. We broke the seal this morning and had a shot (it was 5 o’clock somewhere, lol). Here’s to 44 years of success in business, to our friends and customers and our very supportive family.
