Despite a long list of clients served by P-Tn over the decades, it is worth noting that we have not met many of our clients face-to-face.  So much business is conducted over the phone, or via email, that personal interaction with our clients is often lost in the process.  Even a ZOOM meeting falls far short of an actual one-on-one conversation.  Whenever we do have the rare opportunity to visit our clients at their offices (or in the field, of course – which does happen far more often), we make ...
