Got a call from Jeff Hutchinson

The week before Christmas I got a call from an old buddy from my Atlanta days. His name is Jeff Hutchinson and I worked for him for a brief time in the restaurant industry as a 19 year old. I asked for a few weeks off for Mardi-Gras and stayed in New Orleans in excess of 9-12 months. The whole New Orleans Cellini Daze adventure and experience is still a little hazy in my memory banks.

Jeff is gifted with being a real people person and someone who can visualize the process of progress and how to get things done the right way. As a Trainer in the Ruby Tuesday's organization, Jeff was unparalleled. The stand up comedian in Jeff knew how to work the crowd, tell the story, make the point.

I was touched and flattered that he thought to google me and give me a call out of the blue. Jeff now lives in Maryville, Tennessee. with his wife. They own a run a restaurant are very involved in their Church. I think Jeff said that he had been sober 14 years now. Good for him, he sounded great.
