February, 2003
To those of you in Texas that were so close to the recent tragedy, our thoughts are with you. We have been in touch with several of you over the weekend and are happy to know you are maintaining. If you are in these areas and wish to post any memos or thoughts on your website, please let us know and we will handle it immediately. Your guests may be hesitant right now since the debris seems like on ongoing concern. Allow us to assist you to communicate your current status.
The Traveling Trade Show seems to be a hit with many of you. There were 1789 separate individuals who logged onto the site since its release just two weeks ago!
We have 5 cracker-barrels going on even as you read this as well as some great seminars. Stop in at your convenience and make your ideas known.

Indeed, life appears to come at a much slower. We end up getting more done, with fewer mistakes, and enjoying everything a lot more.
A thought for you:
