    If I thought I could get away with it, I would do it! One Orchid
    member (Hi, J.S.) told me that he knew David Yurman when he was
    making and selling brass belt buckles. Now I see billboards of his
    jewelry on the side of the freeway (in little ol' Charlotte). Now
    *there's* a guy from whom I would like to take a marketing workshop!
