¶ Grenfell claims that "Anderson has a history of not claiming certified letters, which is his choice." Likewise, in
light of the parties’ prior course of performance under the lease, it was Grenfell’s choice to inexplicably serve
the default letter on Anderson in a manner that Grenfell acknowledged would not be effective--having failed on
the one occasion prior to 1991 to serve notice in the same manner. Grenfell further suggests that Anderson was
avoiding contact with Grenfell during the month of October, 1991, leaving him no choice but to send the notice
by certified mail. Even so, the governing practice by the parties would have permitted personal service of the
default notice on one of Anderson’s employees, at one of Anderson’s well-known places of business.
