"Chair Chat"

 Chamber Chair's Dream (maybe a musing)
Did you ever have a recurring dream about something or someone you are really fond of?
I have had this one dream for years now, maybe 5 or 6 years. I dream that we came up with a philanthropist; we'll call "P" as in short for Philanthropist. Never saw the face; could have been man or woman.
In this daydream, this wonderful person knocks on Jim Wright's door and says, "Jim, I know this is the best and most vibrant chamber in this whole area. You really try to help people get in business, stay in business and do business with other chamber members and other business owners outside the chamber. I know you and your board are trying to help commercial realtors find tenants or new owners for the vacant buildings and storefronts in Kirkwood and Des Peres.
