Jim & Laurel Cressman 2011 (3-1)

Jim Cressman and I go way back! We both had long careers with Allstate Commercial and retired from same--Jim 2004 and I 2009. Over the years, our paths would cross since I was the Territorial Commercial Manager and Jim was in Claims--specializing in GL.
A couple of weeks ago Jim e-mail me asking if the four (4) of us could get together for lunch. He and Laurel are headed out on a belated honeymoon for about 30 days and will travel many places Carol and I have been in the past and wanted input-direction from us as to some places we could recommend.
We arrived today at the Chili's at Stone Crest Mall on I-20 around 11:30. It was great seeing Jim again after several years, and meeting his lovely wife Laurel for the first time. Over the next hour we discussed many areas and attractions we enjoyed in our westward travels and gave them printed copies of maps and brochures I had scanned just for them.
Again, we had a good time and hope they have a super fun and safe trip as they head out in May.


l to r Jim, Laurel, John, & Carol
