I am very sad to announce that Fred, my good friend, confidant and icon of my company, passed away on Halloween.  He was 18 years old.
Fred and I go back a long way.  I have known him longer than I have known many of you. He was with me through a marriage, and divorce; a major career change and rise of my company; the birth of my kids and the passing of my father.  Some of you took care of him while I was gone on assignment or vacation.  His kind and warm welcome touched many of us.
I feel very lucky to have had such a true and loyal friend.
I will be posting more pictures of Fred's life on this web site soon.
