How about this man? Tom Kreutzer, started this company then sold it. Told me if "you don't respect your wife" he would fight me right there". John heard him, John was/is a long time Potomac Zen Sangha member, been to S. Korea to visit the master. We were in the car coming back from his lake house in 2010 or so. We were all in the car when Tom was saying all that, is Tom NOT married?
Potomac Zen Sangha was on King st. in Old Town Alexandria, near the King st. metro stop. In an apartment between north bound rte 1 and south bound rte 1, it splits apart a block or so a bit. I started in like 2006 or so. There was a fire in a neighboring apartment, where we had the Buddha statue, etc. So we went and had our meditations at John's house, along Union street, near the Potomac river.
Tom and Anne Kreutzer started Woodbridge Plumbing, Inc. in February, 1973, the same month that their first child, David, was born. Forced to make a decision of whether or not to start in business at that time by the impending deadline of a yellow page ad, they figured that if things didn’t work out they could both just go back to working for someone else. Tom was the only employee for three years, and customers would comment that he was “the same nice young man who came out last time.” Tom wouldn’t bother to mention that he was the only nice young man in the company. Despite the slow start when the ringing phone might catch him with his feet up on the desk, business very gradually picked up, and three years later he hired their first employee, David McCullen, who retired in November, 2006 after 29 years with the company.
