Authors: Mark Derho, Robert J. Samuels, Peter Golenbeck

This is the memoirs for Robert J. Samuels, my friend, client and mentor. Bob was a Banking Pioneer, Civil

associated with publishing including designing his logo, book cover and spending MANY hour, teaching Bob

how to use Google Apps and providing ongoing technical and computer support.

Robert J. Samuels was a client and a personal friend. I am honored to have had an opportunity to work

directly with Bob over the course of 2 years, on branding and 2 websites, provide encouragement, training

and support – as Bob became proficient quickly with Google Apps… and most importantly assist Bob with

the publication of his memoirs.

For these efforts Bob was extremely gracious and personally thanked me in the dedication of his memoirs...
