Doug...........

Great looking structure.

Thanx

Neat.  I gotta ask though....Doug always has a story behind the name of the business.  Where did "Hollis" come from?   

[ACL1504]

Doug,

I agree with Bob in that you have another winner. And I agree with him on the "Hollis" question. However, Doug, I'm interested in what the "WE'VE just released------" Is there a story behind the WE?

[Doug Fos]

The "We" is figurative, but it's just me, a one person operation...it sounds awkward if I say" I just released blah, blah, blah...."


As for the name, Ive been trying to use customer names when possible or my go to names are movie characters  I like or streets and towns where I grew up in Queens, NY. In this case Hollis is all of those; a neighborhood in Queens, a character in the 1974 film Chinatown and a customers last name.

I was worried for a minute that I was the only one that also remembered that reference.
