C-o-l-o-m-b-i-a not Columbia.
Colombians are great. Our nations will be forever connected after Cliff Curtis played Pablo Escobar in BLOW starring Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz.
Welcome and good luck Manuel.
Put him to work on the Coke account.
I went to Natcoll with Manuel and he was way ahead of his time, even then. He introduced me to whole new world. I wish I had more time to be in his presence but it wasn’t meant to be.
Congratulations we are proud of you. Continuo with a lot of succees.
