What do you do now?
I am a director in my own company. We
make foods. Pre- packaged foods mainly for distribution

Please let us have this questionnaire as soon as possible, so that we
can include your experiences in the book. We hope that you will continue
your story on separate sheets if we have not left sufficient room. Full
acknowledgement will be given in a chapter called "Where They Are Now.”
