Dear Chris,
I attended one of your lectures in Antwerp on 22-05-08, which I really have enjoyed. First, I decided to sell my practice in about 3 to 4 years. Can you guide me with this? Second, I need to buy a product (Dentomycin) which is delivered by Blackwell Supplies, in Gillingham Business Park, Kent. Unfortunately, since several months ago, this product can only be bought by a UK registered dentist. Can you help me with this too?
Thank you in advance,
Greetings, Fred
Hi Chris
Thanks for the inspiration you have given us over the years. You have certainly achieved your mission with us. We managed to get on the main Crossfit.com website on Sunday with “Fran”, the classic crossfit workout. Our website was subsequently snowed under and stopped due to insufficient bandwidth. Thankfully that was quickly sorted, and we had 6000 hits. It may not mean we can retire from dentistry any sooner, but makes the journey more enjoyable.
