needed to start with the story of her life. pamela had a spirit that was infectious she had a personality that sucked you in. we were neighbors and we did become best friends. every day we talked. that was long before jim came into the picture of course. good morning, baby desiree. first christmas. pam was a single mom. she and carol baby sat for each others kids, walked their babies together. went shopping. shared recipes and hung out during the holidays. pamela is very much family to me. pam was the most caring, loving, giving person you would ever meet. life was about other people. tina holland is another
the market grew and so did the bottom line. pam s best friend. they went to gold shows, trade shows in las vegas, san diego, l.a., do all the meet and greet kind of thing. pamela was very good at that. she was very charming. jim was more the layed back, stay away, sit in a booth. the timing was good. in 2001 gold was hovering around $250 an oups ance and then star to take off like a rocket. by 2008, gold was listed at $800 an ounce. soon they were getting rich just off the fees they charged from selling the gold online. it doesn t take much to be able to turn a profit. every transaction, whether it s $100 or $2,000 or 100,000, if you re making anywhere from 3 to 5% per transaction, you have money coming in. very quickly, they started
