Cambridge Who's Who: How do you remain current with your information?  
MR CHARLES G DICKERT :  I read all the literature from the limousine industry. There is a magazine that comes out, the Limousine Digest. I advertise in that magazine. Once in a while, I go to trade shows. I just returned from a show in Orlando. There’s one in Las Vegas and another in Atlantic City that I go to find out the newest in limousines

What is the most difficult obstacle or challenge you have faced in pursuit of your goals?
Another issue is the way stretch limousines are manufactured. At the moment, they stretch the limousine and then it starts to come apart right behind the driver’s seat. Some companies are not careful enough. The parts they put in between starts rusting underneath the windows after only two or three years – it’s our main problem. One company exists now which avoids rusting by using the same materials used by the aircraft industry. Their material doesn’t rust. The company has a problem in that their factory moved to Austin, Texas, where the use of these materials in limousine production is not permitted.
