Classic Distributors and Partners:

I have always hoped that Jen would join the Classic Exhibits team at some point. My grandma always said, “Persistence pays off Kevin,” and I have certainly been all that. She is a knowledgeable professional who brings her considerable talents to the Classic Network. She is also a trusted friend and shares our “Customers Come First” philosophy. You’ll be charmed and impressed . . . Even you crusty old coots who claim to have invented trade shows. 😉
