October 15, 2009. Bethesda, Md. History.

Once upon a time, an insurance agent named Vernon, was assigned by the Company to our office. He worked for the Long and Foster Insurance Company.
Every desk was full, so we put him to work at a table outside the elevator on the upper level. In other words, he was out in the open. Vernon was a very nice man so he did not complain as he had a computer and a phone and he certainly was very visible to the agents. Eventually we made a small private office for him, by enclosing a single agent desk. He was happy.

Then Ned joined us as another Manager, so in order to accommodate Ned, Vernon moved out to a phone booth while Ned , our new Manager took over the small office. Eventually a larger office became available so Ned moved into the larger office, still on the second floor. About the same time, Jeff, another Prosperity loan officer joined the office so he moved into this same small office.

All the while, I preached the gospel that this small office was a wonderfully convenient office as it was private and quiet. All three of these good folks agreed with me, but all three really thought it was too small. Now I am in that very small office, and I will never suggest that this space is anything but convenient and comfortable. It is a perfect office for me. That is my story and I will certainly stick with it.
