![]() It comes as no surprise to find Oregon-based MD Equipment Services LLC among the newest members of the MDNA. That’s because the company’s sole proprietor, Jerry Spoon, has always been eager to try something new. Jerry has been selling industrial equipment in North America and Europe for the past 15 years with MD Equipment Services, and before that he worked as a manufacturing engineer in the Portland, Oregon, area for almost 15 years. As an engineer he managed manufacturing processes and capital equipment purchases in addition to handling the surplus equipment disposition at his last employer. It was in that capacity when he was introduced to the used manufacturing equipment business through local dealers. Additionally, he established a college-accredited business writing class he taught for eight years. Today, he has settled in with the machinery trade and runs his company from a Central Oregon location in Redmond. “I’m happy doing what I’m doing and very happy doing it as my own boss,” Jerry said in a recent interview. “I’ve been on my own since 2010 and am among one of only two or three active equipment guys up here in the Northwest. It’s working out well. At age 60, I’m not about the slow down. After all, how do you retire from being self-employed?” Jerry was born and raised in Reno, Nev., when it accurately billed itself as “The Biggest Little City in the World.” When his father quit the casino business, the family moved to Sonora, California, where Jerry went to high school, with designs on a career in the military. He entered Oregon State University’s Naval ROTC program but decided after a term that was not the direction he wished to pursue as a career. He decided, after starting out in electrical engineering, that industrial engineering was more to his liking. He was enticed by manufacturing and the idea of personal contact with people on the shop floor as opposed to being stuck in front of a CAD system doing design work. He received his degree in 1990 and embarked on a series of jobs that started with burn table programming, process design, capital equipment processes, Statistical Process Control (SPC), writing process documentation for shop-floor personnel, and myriad other manufacturing engineering duties for several Portland-based companies. He took a break in engineering for five years to try his hand as a frozen-food commodities salesman with his best friend from college, who had started his own brokerage firm. After leaving the food business in 2010, he decided to use what he had learned in sales and his time in engineering to start selling used manufacturing equipment. “I wanted to get started in my own business, especially with turning, milling, and other types of general metal-manufacturing machinery,” he said. “I was working in Portland and started making calls about what might be available to me nearby. After working in the Portland area for almost nine years, I decided to move to Central Oregon to get out of the rain and traffic.” Don’t jump to the conclusion that the “MD” means Jerry’s company deals with medical equipment. In fact, he chose the initials to honor the memory of a niece, Michelle Spoon, and one of his good high school friends, Dennis Dugan. Both passed away in their 30s, leaving behind families and many friends who loved them. Jerry worked at hiring a sales team in the early days of MD Equipment Services but has been sole proprietor since 2019. Not long ago, he took a hard look at what an MDNA membership could provide, and he is happy now that he attended the organization’s recent convention in New Orleans. There he met fellow dealers and found both them and the organization “really honest and transparent — they treated you like family.” Now it looks as if Jerry is headed in yet another direction — machinery appraisal. “I’m really interested in what the Association of Machinery and Equipment Appraisers offers,” he said of the MDNA sister organization. “I’m really looking forward to getting my certification.” He concluded: “Buying and selling is a customer-service business. I’m glad I’m with the MDNA now, because it looks like what it offers will be value-added for me and for my customers.”

![]() Hey guys and gals, it’s Wheeler. This article is the start of a monthly series to keep our members informed of what’s going on in MDNA mixed in with some fun positive life gaining stuff. I will always do my best to keep the train moving forward in the right direction. I have found for me and my business; this has been a very valuable tool. Our association is doing well. Financially, we are as strong as ever. We have made many adjustments over the past five years to get back on track. Two things that needed our attention were Locator and our Alexandria building. Over the past few years, we were able to team up with Machine Hub, which allowed us to revitalize Locator into an internet presence. We were able to get back on track and have had great success with our bulk email packages and CRMS sales. And I am happy to report that Locator is profitable today. With the sale of our building, MDNA was able to extricate itself from what was once a very positive investment for our association but had become a huge financial draw in recent years. The property was costing us a lot of money to maintain and the market for rentals had grown soft in the DC area. We were able to secure a qualified buyer and with those resources, we have been able to invest in the market where our money is earning interest. I am very proud of the progress we have made. And we are developing a strategy to use the interest income for member benefits. Please stay tuned for things ahead. For example, our website is getting a complete makeover. The anticipated launch date of our new site is mid-September. This will be a solid upgrade. Finally, we will be focusing on the heartbeat of our association, the chapters. Our team is working to help our chapters plan events for our members with good content and activities that we will all enjoy. The officer team is meeting in California in the next few weeks to lay out next year’s activities, I look forward to attending many chapter events here in the near future. ![]() John Butz operates a booming Florida-based used CNC machinery sales operation while trading the time over the past decade to serve as a leader in the Machinery Dealers National Association (MDNA). John is CEO of RESELL CNC, which buys and sells used manufacturing equipment through two divisions: a retail side that specializes in used CNC machines and an auction service that provides liquidation opportunities for surplus equipment. The MDNA has been instrumental in RESELL CNC’s expansion. “Relationships and partnerships have been key to our growth,” John says. Under his leadership, RESELL CNC has been recognized twice on the Inc. 500 List of America’s fastest-growing companies. “We stay true to our mission by assisting manufacturers and dealers with their surplus and trade-in machines,” he continues. “Each month, we are buying and selling 50 to 100 machines through our retail division alone.” John credits much of RESELL CNC’s success to his involvement with the MDNA and its affiliated Association of Machinery and Equipment Appraisers (AMEA). He has been actively engaged with the MDNA since 2006 and now serves as a member of its board of directors. A Madison, Wisconsin native, John entered the machine tool industry in 1992 after earning a business and marketing degree from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. He began his career selling new Mazak CNC machines, CNC lasers, and EDM equipment. John and a dedicated staff of 16, headquartered in Orlando, serve RESELL CNC customers across North America and around the world, using warehouses throughout the U.S. to streamline logistics. John’s MDNA affiliation began in 2006, when he partnered with a major auction house to develop an online auction platform. In 2008, he launched RESELL CNC, and within a few years was leading the MDNA’s Southern Regional Chapter. By 2015, during a period of exceptional growth for RESELL CNC, John joined the MDNA’s national board, reinforcing his commitment to industry ethics and collaboration. He considers the MDNA instrumental to RESELL CNC’s success. “The MDNA has enabled us to develop connections that allow us to easily work with trustworthy dealers,” he explains, “and we all operate under the same MDNA Code of Ethics.” John also has taken the time to become an accredited member of the MDNA’s sister organization, the Association of Machinery and Equipment Appraisers (AMEA). “Being with the AMEA gives us the ability to provide professional capital appraisals to our customers,” he added. “It’s an important aspect of what we do.” John believes that, at its core, success in the equipment sales industry is built on trust, integrity, and strong relationships— all values that align with the MDNA’s mission. “Relationships are of paramount importance in this industry,” he emphasizes. “And the MDNA is a great way to build them. It has connected us with trustworthy dealers who operate under the same high ethical standards, allowing us to expand our reach and enhance our reputation.” April 29th-30th of this year marked the fiftieth anniversary of the fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam conflict. On that morning a young Lt.(jg) John Conroy (now a Past President of the MDNA, Presidential Appointee and Convention Committee Chairman and co-owner of Machinery International) was Officer of the Deck on the 550 Foot long USS Vancouver {LPD 2) steaming in slow circles in a 2 mile x 2 mile quadrant off the coast of South Vietnam. Vancouver was designed to attack hostile beaches by launching Higgins boats loaded with Marines in a frontal assault on the enemy beach while simultaneously launching helicopters to attack the enemy from their rear. It's mission this day was very different. It was to rescue as many Americans and their allies as possible from the imminent fall of Saigon. This was a task Vancouver knew well, having just three weeks earlier executed Operation Eagle Pull and rescuing all American citizens and U.S. Embassy employees from Phnom Penh, Cambodia when that country fell to the Khmer Rouge and the "Killing Fields" began.
My main focus that morning was to avoid hitting the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise in its quadrant to the north and the USS Hancock to the south. Enterprise was providing air support and was changing course constantly to launch and recover it's fighters. Our Captain was below and the ship was all mine. It was very peaceful. I had the 0800-1200 Watch. About two hours into it the lookouts reported a strange cloud formation to the west. 1 stepped out on the bridge wing and looked at it through binoculars with the Junior Officer of the Deck, Ensign Griggs. As we watched it got larger and larger and was coming straight for our formation of 50 ships, virtually the entire U.S. Seventh Fleet. Radar confirmed what was now becoming obvious to us. The "cloud" was hundreds of helicopters escaping Saigon and the surrounding area. The orders had been given to "bug out". and Operation Frequent Wind was officially underway. For the next 24 hours it was organized chaos as hundreds of helicopters circled over the fleet looking for any open flight deck before they ran out of fuel. The first to land on Vancouver was a South Vietnamese Chinook carrying about 40 refugees. The pilot refused to take off and return to Vietnam. The flight deck crew asked me for instructions. I told them to put the pilot on the radio. I told him there was a large barge adrift about a mile to the east and to land over there and I would send a boat to pick him up. He agreed and took off. Soon we were overwhelmed with helicopters of all shapes and sizes. The orders were given to start rolling them off the side of the ship as soon as they were emptied to make room for others that were hovering waiting for any open deck. The only ones we kept were the blue and white ones. They were Air America, the CIA's Air Force, and contained the latest top-secret electronics that the Russians would have loved to fish out of the Tonkin Gulf after we had left. Our crew of360 sailors and 800 marines were pretty much overwhelmed for the next 24 hours. Vancouver took on over 2,200 refugees that day - everything from mothers with children to South Vietnamese generals with suitcases filled with gold. (We confiscated those as per orders of the Admiral). Anyone not on watch helped out. The entire inside portion of Vancouver is a hollowed-out football field where we keep the marine's landing craft and can flood it to launch them. It became our triage center, freeing the flight deck up for the helicopters. By nightfall it looked like the railroad yard scene in "Gone with the Wind" when Sherman was entering Atlanta. After very little sleep I came back on watch as Officer of the Deck for the 0400-0800 watch. It was dark, the ship was quiet, and 1 felt the awesome responsibility of being in charge of an 8600 Ton Ship carrying 360 sailors, 800 marines, and now 2200 refugees. As the sun rose I looked to the east and saw, to my chagrin, a floating barge adrift with the outline of a Chinook helicopter and a very tired pilot still waving his arms. In the chaos of the morning earlier I had completely forgotten to launch a boat to pick him up. Boy was I embarrassed. I immediately ordered a boat to retrieve him, a hot meal to be ready for him, and directed that he be brought to the bridge. When he arrived I couldn't even get in an apology as he hugged me and said he was just happy to be alive. We arrived in Subic Bay in the Philippines a few days later with our precious cargo. Fifty years ago. -John Conroy ![]() Much of John Bouley’s adult life has been spent in service to others: to his family, his business associates and customers, his community, his nation, and to the world. John owns and operates Furnace Brokers International, which buys, sells, appraises, and exports industrial heat treat furnaces and ovens from its headquarters in Tolland, Conn., a Hartford suburb. He has been in the thermal processing business since 1973 and has run Furnace Brokers since 2016, when Clarence Sherman, his original business partner, retired. They established the company as Furnace Brokers, Inc., in 1983, and remain the best of friends. “I’m a very proud member of the MDNA and have been since January 1990,” John said in a recent interview. He has chaired the MDNA’s Northeast Chapter and remains an active member there. “I like what we stand for,” he continued. “I really appreciate its Code of Ethics and the (Austin D. Lucas) scholarship program.” Furnace Brokers operates on a global level, buying and selling used industrial heat treating furnaces and ovens. The majority of its sales are in ovens, and it also offers some new equipment. “We can give you value and you can have it today, at a substantial reduction in price,” he said of Furnace Brokers’ appeal to customers. “We buy and sell, and we’ll refer rebuilds to a network we’ve established.” John is a Rhode Island native who enlisted in the Marines at age 17. His four-year stint included a Vietnam combat tour as a helicopter door-gunner. Home from the service in 1971, he enrolled in college, then a Marine buddy pointed him to a summer job in Connecticut with a used furnace dealer. “Within a month or so, I fell in love with the business,” he said. That was the start of his association with Industronics, Inc., which is where he met Sherman. They worked together for 10 years before facing a career crossroads and deciding to go into business together, which, he said, “was the best thing I ever did.” John and his wife Cathy live in Tolland and have three adult children and a couple of grandkids. His community involvement has included a lengthy stint as a Little League baseball coach. And for the past 25 years, John has been active through his local Roman Catholic church in relief work in the Caribbean nation of Haiti. He joined the board of the Outreach to Haiti organization and has made numerous trips to the nation’s capital, Port-au-Prince, where Outreach is involved in food distribution, a health clinic, and education. Though he has been unable to visit Haiti since 2019 because of the nation’s crippling social unrest, he remains devoted to the cause. “It has been my life’s mission,” he reflected. “The people of Haiti are special —hard-working and willing to work. They just want an opportunity.” John is not about to walk away from the chance to provide that opportunity. “I believe God brought me back from Vietnam for a reason,” he reflects. “And this is it.” Mr. Bouley was named MDNA Person of the year at the MDNA Annual Meeting that took place at the 2025 Convention in New Orleans. Named in honor of Former MDNA President Craig L. Ward. Mr. Ward was dedicated to his community and beyond. He was MDNA’s president from 2021 to 2023. This award is presented annually, honoring a member’s commitment to benevolence and community impact, as well as their excellence in the used machinery industry. ![]() It’s not a journey every MDNA-member business takes, but Westbrook Engineering Company, Inc., has, literally, moved from the basement to the big time. Westbrook is a used machinery dealership that observed its 60th anniversary in business in 2024. For most of that time it has been a member of the MDNA, and for every one of its six-plus decades, has operated in Warren, Mich., a city on the north edge of Detroit. Credit Alex Szarek for starting it all. After years selling new industrial equipment — mostly cold saws — for Last Word Sales, he was eager to be out on his own. In 1964 he began selling new machinery from the basement of his home, on Westbrook Street in Warren. Hence the name Westbrook Engineering. Westbrook quickly outgrew the Szarek family basement, so Alex moved everything into the first of a succession of ever-larger facilities in Warren. His sons, Randy and Marty, helped him expand the business, then took over when Alex died in 1996. In 2017, Westbrook sold its sales division to a friendly competitor. Marty — now Westbrook’s president — and his son, Joe, now run Westbrook Engineering, a used machinery sales company. Approximately 15 years ago, Marty founded Westbrook’s auction division, known as Westbrook Asset Management. Westbrook Engineering joined the MDNA in 1978, a move Marty says has been instrumental in his company's success. “Relationships,” is his simple response to what the MDNA has brought to Westbrook. “It’s meeting great people and making great partnerships. I’ve found that in the MDNA we’ve learned it’s better to partner up and work together than to compete with fellow MDNA members. It’s a unique association.” A business that started in a basement in 1964 now offers a complete line of used machinery, operates from facilities covering 35,000 square feet, conducts industrial auctions, and its customer base stretches across all of North America. Marty says its success has been built on a foundation of “honesty, integrity, and attention to detail. We’re now the largest used-saw dealer in the country. People know we go the extra mile when it comes to refurbishing.” ![]() Let’s just say Dave Goose sees things a bit differently when it comes to financing equipment purchases. Dave was the founder of Manufacturers Capital, LLC, which has been around since 2007, providing solutions to the unique needs of machinery sales concerns in the U.S. and Canada. And it’s among the latest businesses to be approved as a Premier Vendor for the MDNA. Dave operates Manufacturers Capital from New Smyrna Beach, on Florida’s east coast. He co-founded the business with a partner and stayed on in his current capacity when Manufacturers was purchased in 2017 by Commercial Credit Corp. It’s now a division of Charlotte-based Commercial Credit. His career in finance began in 1980 in the commercial capital department at a south Florida bank. That’s when he discovered the world of machine tools and began concentrating his sales efforts there. In 1989, he joined Maruka Machinery, the importer of Mori Seiki, and in 1997 moved into the emerging CNC market, where he opened his own used machine tool sales business, which expanded into new machine tools in 2001. “Loved it, had a ball, but there's a lot more stress in selling machines than financing them,” he said in a recent conversation. “I jokingly tell people that nobody calls me on a Saturday, yelling that their money is not working. So, the finance business became much more attractive.” In 2007 he put his own money to work with Manufacturers Capital, specializing in arranging loans and leases for equipment manufacturers and users that banks and other lenders might keep at arm’s length. “We were mostly a brokerage then. but we took a lot of pride in coming up with products that other brokers didn’t have,” he recalls. “At Manufacturers Capital and with the founder and management of Commercial Credit Group we had the same philosophy, We were all disciples of the credit philosophy of a gentleman named Cal Palitz, who was the godfather of commercial capital equipment financing in the 1960s and ‘70s. He taught us to know your collateral and then know your credit. Before joining Commercial Credit, we put $5 to $6 million in private money toward what we call structured deals, which allow you to listen to the customer’s story and judge a credit or a customer's creditworthiness ‘from the shop floor up, not the balance sheet down.’ Now, as a division of Commercial Credit we funded 30 or 40 times more ‘structured’ transactions. “We know the machines. We can tell if a shop is organized,” he explained. “There’s a ton of hidden equity not evident on the balance sheet that’s actually on the premises of a manufacturer. We can tell if a client is making quality parts by touring its facility. And that continues today with Commercial Credit.” ![]() Family businesses are nothing new in the MDNA, but Carl Davis might have found a new way to get his generational enterprise started. Carl is co-founder and president of The Equipment Hub, a used machinery sales operation in Stone Mountain, Ga., not far from his hometown of Atlanta. He cut his teeth “selling random stuff” as a 15-year-old with an eBay account. He also started a tennis racket stringing business when he was in the 8th-grade. Years later, Carl had the idea of making a living selling surplus equipment. Out of college, Carl used his chemistry degree from the University of Georgia and went to work in chemical manufacturing. “There was a moment in time when the company I worked for had some surplus equipment, “ he recalled in a recent interview. “I said, ‘Hey, let me help you out. I'll put it up on my eBay account and see if it sells.’ So I did, and the light bulb went off in my head.” Carl knew how chaotic the manufacturing process can be as jobs are completed and new assignments come in. “When you do contract work you’ve got to have the right machinery for that work,” he observed. “And sometimes you lose the job and, all of a sudden you have equipment you're not using anymore. Industries are very fluid in terms of equipment needs.” Years later, having never forgotten that business idea, Carl decided to make cold-calls to some manufacturers in and around Atlanta before he arrived at work. He was curious to see if he could find another company that would let him sell its equipment. Out of sheer luck, the first morning he made calls, he found a company that needed to sell surplus equipment. He ended up getting the deal and making some money quickly. "I wasn't expecting things to play out this way, quite frankly,” he declared. “I was expecting to have no luck and give up on the idea. Instead, I took some pictures of the machinery a prospect had and put it up on eBay. Within a week, one of the machines sold for pretty good money. And after that I thought, ‘Hey, I think I can make this work. I can pursue this.’” After some deep thought, he told his soon-to-be wife he thought he could start a business selling equipment. He told her it was a long shot but if she was good with temporarily supporting both of them financially, he would give it a try. She agreed. That was in 2011, a time of both economic uncertainty and opportunity. Carl founded The Equipment Hub working from his house. His brother Mark joined him a few months later as the company’s co-founder and partner. Seizing whatever opportunities arose, they’ve built a thriving business with a predominantly domestic customer base. The Equipment Hub is selling as many as 1,000 used machines every year through the efforts of a staff of 16 that includes inside and outside sales teams, a CNC service manager, a trio of mechanics to prep equipment for resale, and an auction manager — all working with a 40,000-square-foot showroom. Carl learned about the MDNA from early contacts in the used machinery trade. “Some of them spoke really highly of it and got me interested,” he recalled. The Equipment Hub has been a member of the organization for the past decade, and Carl currently serves as the treasurer of MDNA’s Southern Chapter. The Equipment Hub story is not your standard account of organic growth and incremental expansion, but it’s now a business that sells used equipment to create, shape, or finish nearly any item. It’s a story of entrepreneurial boldness and the good fortune it can yield. And it’s largely Carl Davis’s story, which he’s happy to share with his MDNA colleagues as an example of good things that can happen in the business they all love. ![]() Whenever you need to transport something — whatever the quantity and wherever the destination — Northwest Shippers can get it there for you. Versatility and load economy are the bywords at Northwest, which — not surprisingly — is located in the Pacific Northwest and does business in every mainland state as well as Canada. Owner and CEO Phil Dalrymple launched the brokerage in 1990 and it has recently attained Premier Vendor status with the MDNA. Think of Northwest as the go-between for machinery manufacturers and contract haulers, primarily using both Conestoga-style curtained trailers and regular flatbed transport. After securing a delivery schedule and safety requirements from the client, Phil finds an available shipper, negotiates a price for the job, and makes the pickup/delivery arrangements. “We are strictly a broker and a broker can do deals with specialty pieces,” he said in a recent interview. “In the machinery world, things can get damaged very quickly if you don’t know what you’re doing.” Phil hails from Hollywood — yes, that Hollywood. He moved to Washington at age 16 when his father, a Baptist pastor, was called to serve there. Growing up in the metro Seattle city of Puyallup, Phil went to college and wasted little time finding work. “I was offered a job as a freight broker so I dropped out of school,” he recalled. “It took me two years to become the top salesman for the company and, at that point, I didn't have a need to go back to school.” But he did go back, picked up an associate’s degree in business and quickly expanded his trucking contacts. Northwest Shippers, Inc., was the result. Now, Phil and an experienced and closely knit staff of six — all living and working in the state of Washington — take care of business coast-to-coast. Regardless of the complexity of the job, Phil knows what keeps Northwest rolling. “We take care of our people, because they're professional and we need professionals,” he explained. “Customers understand they have people who know what they’re doing, who’ll talk to you daily when we’re moving freight for you. The importance of relationships can’t be stressed enough.” Northwest will arrange most machinery and high-end metal shipments that are not both overweight and over-dimensional. Phil says customers are usually relieved to find a less-than-truckload load option, which can save them both time and money. Northwest Shippers became acquainted with some MDNA member businesses about a dozen years ago, and those contacts resulted in referrals for Premier Vendor status. Phil sees the achievement as validation of his approach to his work. “There’s a niche in our market for professional people who do a good job, who do the best work possible,” Phil declared. “That’s our goal and we're pretty good at that. People are more important than money. I tell my customers: ‘You need me — and I need you!’ That’s my philosophy and we do business that way.” ![]() As used machinery becomes an increasingly international business, the need grows for associates who can confidently navigate unfamiliar waters. New Jersey’s AMS Container Line, Inc., is one of those businesses, and one of the MDNA’s newest premier vendors. Inder Khokhar is founder and owner of AMS Container, headquartered in East Windsor, just off the New Jersey Turnpike about midway between New York City and Philadelphia. From his office, he oversees freight forwarding in and out of major American seaports and airports, as well as surface transport. He specializes in moving used machinery — most of it by ship — to customers both foreign and domestic. “Our core business is international shipping,” Inder explained in a recent interview. “We do export a lot of used machinery— especially to Japan, India, and Bangladesh, and also a few shipments to Europe. We can also provide short-term warehousing at multiple locations in the U.S. if it is some machinery we need to pick up inland and get it to New York, we can bring it to the yard and load the containers there. We are a general domestic company for international shipping, and we also do domestic trucking. We outsource the trucking and have a brokerage license.” Customs is a key consideration for customers, and Inder’s team knows those ropes well. AMS is licensed by the Federal Maritime Commission as a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier, which Inder calls “a premier certification to handle sea freight into and exports out of the U.S., where we can issue our own bill of lading. “Customs are very regulated as those regulations are very, very straightforward,” he continued. “Nobody can expedite Customs. If they say they can it’s probably just a sales pitch. With customs, it is right or wrong — no gray areas. There are terrorism concerns, for instance, I’ve had somebody stuck with some machines that are very old, but which could be modified to make something dangerous. Customs held it to make sure that it is not going to some country where they can start producing barrels for guns and things like that.” Inder has been in the shipping business since he was a 19-year-old college student in his hometown of Delhi, India. “I joined a company that wanted to have a U.S. office and that’s how I migrated to New Jersey in 2002,” he recalled. “At that time, we were primarily looking at Indian subcontinent business, and New Jersey/New York was one of the biggest gateways. So I made my base here and in 2008, I started this company on my own.” AMS operates from the East Windsor offices and a warehouse in nearby Linden. N.J., near New York City. As Inder began attending sale events in the New York area seeking export prospects, he became acquainted with MDNA-affiliated machinery dealers. Those associations led to eventual sponsorships for AMS as an MDNA premier vendor. “We’re blessed to have established a business in the U.S.A” Inder said of his business as he enters his third decade on the U.S. scene. “It’s the American dream.” |
