When presented with a stack of silver bowls that are tarnished, the next step is to get out the silver polish. During my college years, one of my dearest friends gave me a place to come visit during the semester as my parents lived out of state. Her mother discovered that I enjoyed polishing silver.

Mrs. Warwick had an amazing collection of silver pieces, and we would polish all of it for the holiday season ahead – Thanksgiving through New Year through Easter. You see, if the polish job is done well, the silver pieces stay pretty shiny for 6-8 months allowing them to look their best and make the event more special.

It was my honor to work with Representative Keith Bell over the last 8 years of my career. While he never represented Sunnyvale where I live, in my ways I counted him as my representative.
