”I have enjoyed working closely with Rick Galtelli, but he is going to work for Heritage Pacific Leasing, “ Lahti said. “ I am going to be on my own, proudly serving brokers as I have done for the last twenty years as Affiliated Corporate Services.

“This is not negative news, Kit, but positive. Rick and I both still break bread together and pray together, but I am basically too old to work for someone else.”

“ The other good news is I am bringing Ron Mitchell with me and also Jane Kilpatrick, too, ” he concluded. “A formal press release will be issued this week.”

Rick Galtelli, CLP, was on an airplane, flying from Texas to Fresno, California, at press time, and unavailable for a comment.
