In January 2010, my husband and I took our lifetime best trip to India. The hospitality was like nothing we could have ever imagined. The people, history, palaces, art and lifestyle that we experienced has given me tremendous respect for the Indian people. If you have a "bucket list" I recommend a trip to India should be something to place on yours.

June 26, 2010, I served as Justice of the Peace for the wedding of my niece, Julie Mei to Paul Howard Judge Jr. It was a wonderful experience and a tremendous honor.

We are a very happy & competent group at Metrowest Commercial Real Estate and look forward to working with you !
