Reed\u2019s a great source and always responds when I need a quote or a perspective on some issue. I tried calling but missed him, leaving a message telling him I was swamped and maybe we could connect on Monday morning. Next thing I know he sends me the press release announcing the sale of Nevill to Kyocera Document Solutions America. That was big news so I called again but missed him. Fortunately we connected on Monday morning and I got the scoop on why this successful dealer and the President of Kyocera\u2019s Dealer Council sold his dealership. That\u2019s the main story in this week\u2019s issue.
