Bonny - You and I met when I was 16 years old in Brimfield. I admired your drive and fine taste in jewelry and greatly appreciated the potential you saw in me. Once moving to New York; You and I enjoyed trading jewelry for 15 years. What I will miss the most is meeting you at the cafe at Neiman Marcus in NJ for lunch and purchasing treasures from you. Rest in peace Bonny - you greatly impacted the growth of my career and for that I will be eternally grateful.
