"It was great having you speak at our NAIFA-Southern Nevada luncheon this past month. What made it more exciting for me was to introduce you. How many people can stand up and say, "Dick Geno came into my life 40 years ago as my agent. I was his 34th client while I was a senior in college. It took him 18 years to recruit me into the insurance business as one of his agents and now, 21 years later, here we are.

" Dick has touched me, like many others in our industry. He definitely made a big difference in my life. His influence and guidance helped me succeed.
beyond my dreams.

" He was my agent, then I became his agent and most of all, he has always been my friend."
