Hi Robert!
It’s your old pal Tara Weingarten. I miss our fun conversations on long drives in great cars!
I’m writing to see if you’d chat with a family friend, Charlie Schulman, who is a bonafide car nut. We met him when he was a 4th-grade classmate of our son, and have been close with his family ever since. Our kid is now 26, so it’s been a while.
He is launching a high end concierge car dealership. Would you be willing to chat with him?
Thanks and miss you!
