I attended the Free Enterprise Conference this past weekend, sponsored by Fred Harteis, Harteis International and Biznet Productions. In one word "Spectacular!!"  The line up of Guest speakers, such as Les Brown and Ken McDonald were tremendous. What a simply great time to learn, to grow and to dream what is possible. One of the most memorable moments was Fred Harteis personally introducing Dean and Theresa Frye as New Diamond Directs.....WOW. The crowd that afternoon went wild. There was such an outpouring of love and appreciation for this young couple. There were many tears in that auidence and on that stage that afternoon, tears of joy. Oh, there was so much more that weekend I can't begin to tell you how it has changed my thinking.  This weekend I saw the heart of this business, the relationships and enduring friendships that exists. I can think of no greater gift to give another person or family than to offer them this opportunity to build finanical security for their family and the generations to come.  Thank you Fred and Linda Harteis for your strength of leadership and vision for America.
