[NFBP-Talk] [Ohio-Talk] Update

[Preston Gaylor]

I for sure agree what everyone else said. It is a tricky industry to get
into, but I’m sure you’ll do well and it’s not for everybody. I’m wishing
best of luck and will definitely keep you in mind if I make a trip to
Pittsburgh in the near future!
All the best again, and congratulations!
Sincerely, yours,
Preston.
