Ah yes, Bill Savitt of the Savitt's Jewelry fame- the "CCC" stood for
"Clarity, Cut, and Courtesy", IIRC. Now it stands for "Crass, Crankin', and 
Carnality" LOL. Just kidding.

I remember the TV spots he used to do in the Hartford Market.

Woody is one of the biggest proponents of HD, from what I understand. He's 
certainly a personality (I mean that in the positive sense).

I worked there part time for about a year and enjoyed it. The place has vibe 
which starts at the top and filters down.

Do try to hear it- I think you'll be impressed.
