Dennis's humor: christmas card 1988

James Jeude

September 16, 2024

Dennis was COO and a supporter of mine early in my career when I was involved in international management. He was patient, helpful, and supportive. Our non-work topics included cigars, Chicago (he 'commuted' from Chicago to London), and Jaguar (cars, not the sports team); thus, he sent me this Christmas card in 1988. Good sense of humor!
