Celebrating the Amazing Women Who Helped Build Our Company
March is Women’s History Month, a time when our nation spotlights women’s contributions to history, culture, and society. My daughter-in-law recently wondered why, when they make up half the population, we are still talking about women as if they are a different species from men. I see her point, but I look at Women’s History… Read More
Margie—The Woman Beside Me
In honor of Women’s History Month, I’m going to write about Margie—my brilliant, beautiful wife of nearly 62 years. The old saying “Behind every successful man is a woman” is untrue in our case.

In 2023, Friendships are More Important than Ever
Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful New Year’s weekend. Margie and I sure did. We spent New Year’s Eve with three of our favorite couples, enjoying a fun evening with lively conversation.

The Magic of Being Together
After nearly three years of not physically meeting together, our whole company recently gathered at the Mission Bay Resort in San Diego. What a wonderful time we had!

Since the pandemic era began in 2020, we’ve been hearing and reading a lot more about the importance of self-care.

The Power of Gratitude
This week the United States will be celebrating Thanksgiving Day, a holiday that’s set aside to count our blessings. There’s usually a big meal, visits from family, and special shows on television.
