Attn: Richard Sturmer, CPA Dear Rick: Hindsight is 20/20. You thought you would never her from me again. This is Claude. I cannot change what happened. All because of a manipulative girlfriend, who would not allow me to join Buck Sturmer, after I Ieft, and then you offered me to return. Yes, I was wishy washy, and the firm, and you, had to make an economic decision. Ive always considered Buck, Sturmer, my family. Yes, we used to work together, but I considered all of you, my family. I knew all the members so well, including you. For approximately four years, I knew Murray Zaroff, and Ed Gimpel,so well, until, they were buried. I still continue in public accounting, as I always have. I never received my CPA, but gone through years of CPE, especially, in high net worth entertainers, and real estate. The expertise of which, I learned so well from you. But what I did not learn from you, is being unethical, and stretching the tax law, as much as possible, to become illegal. I do not know how often Ive been forced to do illegal acts. Especially, to keep my employment going. Yes, I'm still in South Florida. Im not sure of Doug's health, but maybe certain others I can call, to say hello. Im just reminiscing. As I get older, I do get wiser. Hindsight is 20/20.
