GOD BLESS ED:
Many years ago we talked on the phone.
We actually never met in person,But we never missed a Christmas card.
We both were in purchasing a couple thousand miles apart,but as fate would have it.
We both had the same vendor needless to say the vendor was confused having two Edward Kaloustian’s as customers.
I called him and we had a great conversation.
Rest In Peace my friend.
Edward Kaloustian #2
God bless you and your wonderful family.
