What was one of your corporate or career highlights of the decade?
My most memorable career experience of the decade seems like only yesterday-my election, by my peers, as chairman 2000 of the Young Men's/Women's Real Estate Association (YM/WREA) in New York City. The election was an honor and certainly made the year a memorable one for me.
