Observations After Ike

Last week someone had mentioned to me that the true test of a company was whether people wanted to do all they could to support it or, whether they felt they needed to be protected from it.

As I watch our team members struggling to get to the office in Houston and carry on as if their hometown had not been devastated by a monstrous storm and I watch them working from home while their families are still scattered and some of their homes and yards are a shambles - I think one thing is clear.

We are blessed with a team that is dedicated to our business, our customers, and most remarkably to each other.

It is a humbling experience. An army is only as strong as its weakest soldier, as its lowest ranking recruit in the mess hall. I think we pass the test!
