GroopShop II Planning Summit


February 30, 2003



Mr. Mascelli is always surprized by the simplest things in Idaho,
like that we have indoor plumbing and electricity.
Here he is amazed that his battery powered CLIPS machine works.


Who says there's no-such-a-thing as The Refinishing Gods ?
What else could explain one of BennyB's trucks
passing through Mountain Home, Idaho during the Summit Meeting?


Benny runs those cool refrigerated trailers
to ensure quality product control year around.




(Ever the smart-aleck) Mikey re-enacts the now famous
Benco magazine ad, using a product with a simple name.

( A clothespin graces that Italian honker ... )

Benny's driver, Gary, was as pleasant a guy
as you'd ever meet anywhere and was most
accommodating in making this connection with us.
We suspect he was silently questioning our sanity ...



Sportin' our new Benco sweatshirts and caps ...


... we had a most successful brainstorming/planning session,
which included Mitch, both in spirit and by phone (3 hours).

(In this case, Mitch is the one without the cool Benco cap).
