Smile, You're on Camera

For the past few years, my good friend Telmo Machado has been a tradeshow fixture. Telmo is a professional photographer. His work is second to none.

He is attending GSX this year, and is lugging around his equipment. Like many of you, Telmo will go the extra mile for the perfect photograph. There is a back story I wanted to share because it is close to my heart.

A Heart Attack
A few years ago, Telmo had a heart attack. It knocked him down for a while, thankfully he recovered.

Today’s modern medicine played a key role then as it has now. He recently had another stent placed in a weakened artery, testing whether or not he would make the trip to Orlando.

Well, he’s here and the medical procedure proved successful.

Close to my heart, I had a couple of stents inserted into my arteries a couple weeks ago. I’m thankful for this incredible medical miracle.

It is fantastic to attend GSX 2024. I enjoy seeing friends and associates once again. I haven’t seen Telmo at GSX yet this year, but you happen to come upon my friend, give him a hearty handshake and wish him well.
