I say we rewind the clock and see what some Friends of Moss were wearing back in the day:  ![Blog ](https://www.mossbuildinganddesign.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/promo-hpoto2-1024x669.jpg?width=614&height=401&name=promo-hpoto2-1024x669.jpg) Can you identify any of these beauties?  If so, email the correct name and I’ll send you a $50 Moss Home Services gift certificate.
