Roman Polanski, no sympathy for the devil

Hello everyone;

Glad to see things picking up out there...

Even though this post is not inline with Human Resources it is inline with being HUMAN.

Recently Roman Polanski was arrested in Switzerland regarding an extradition warrant filed by the USA approx. 30 yrs ago.

The Serendipitous Nature of our Business!

Every so often something magical happens, no doubt the non-believer chalks it up to "coincidence"....

Has anyone had this experience and how did they remedy the situation?
Thank you!
Sal
