Tim Girvin

"First time, a team-up, a working retreat for a couple of days, one on Sylvan Spirit's foredeck. I pointed out our arrival to Sylvan Cove, to which he explained -- "whoa, look, it's Jurassic Park!""

"If you're vegan, this is the place for breakfast treats - even chocolate donuts!"

"Important tip -- get to know the Goddard family -- great people, the Goddard spirit: sweet, generous, genuinely caring. And, they've got a great view to the Olympics, south of the house."

"Good people, good leadership, good history, rolling to better visioning: the future."

"Talk with them about the soul of enterprise - bringing story, beauty, and warmth of experience to the world. Retail, restaurants, hotels travel and journey-- and happy guests!"

"Say hi to Jon McVey -- if he's there; the last time I saw him - Breslin's, breakfast, the Ace Hotel, only blocks from GIRVIN | NYC, down south @ 26th + Broadway. Hi Jon!"
