LOS ANGELES - New Beginnings' Bryan Berber issued a statement today thanking friends and associates in the adult industry for their support following the passing of company founder Lenny Friedlander.
"On behalf of Lenny Friedlander's wife, children, myself, Lee Negri, Jim Nitz, and the entire New Beginnings family, I would like to thank all the wonderful people who have offered so much comfort, support and encouragement during the past several weeks," Berber said.
