Seventy or so marketers spent all or some of March 26 through March 30, 2009 in Orlando, Florida saying, “Happy Birthday”, to Willie Crawford.

Yep, Willie hit the “Big Five-O”. Like many he could have gone into denial and let the day pass quietly. He didn’t. Instead he and David Preston held a party/seminar.

It’s been my pleasure to know Willie on-line for two or three years. I’ve known of David Preston for several months. At Ken McArthur’s JV Alert Live event in February I was finally able to meet both of them face-to-face. Quickly determined after hand-shakes and once-overs that they were both good guys.

Willie and David were kind enough to ask me to serve as the event photographer. I quickly accepted.

And that brings us to the subject of this post…

Of the over 500 pictures I made I’ve selected, edited and uploaded over two hundred photos representative of the Birthday Bash.
