Today, I was reminded of my first real-estate related job. I went to the Anatole on Stemmons for the SMU Football Kickoff Luncheon to hear what the new coach had on his mind for the upcoming season, how he planned to take the team from a losing 1-11 record, and to generally show all around support of my alma mater.
There, I ran into my former boss, Mr. Joe Beard, also an SMU graduate who played football at SMU when they were a highly-feared opponent in the old Southwest Conference. He and his then-business partner, also an SMU graduate/football player, gave me my first real job after I graduated from SMU. This job was being the office manager at their multi-family real estate investment company in Las Colinas. Basically, buying and selling apartment complexes. It was just the three of us, and we had a lot of hard work to do. I loved working for Steve and Joe. Every day was something different.
And I never knew who I might see coming through the door on any given day, because they had a lot of very important friends and clients. I learned some good real estate lessons there, and it was very nice to see Joe again. I always knew that he would go on to do even greater things, and he has, as president of Westdale Asset Management.
What a great day, seeing a lot of other old acquaintances from my days at SMU. Plus, it's always a good day to see the Mustang Band, and the cheerleaders and baton twirlers.
