As we welcome another scorching September and the fast approaching end of this year’s third quarter, I find myself wishing that the days of our lives would just slow down a little. The older I get, the faster things seem to be whizzing by. Running a business, having three kids and eleven grandchildren, and maintaining a home life with my wife keeps me busy. My wife, Kathy, often says I am burning my candle on both ends. It’s funny, as many times when I am asked to give a business presentation, a good portion of my presentation is talking about work and life balance. One of my key phrases is to remember that we are working to live, not living to work.
With this September’s cover, I welcome Rich’s Auto Tech again for the fifth year in a row. For many years, I have known this family and they have become my friends who feel like family. I am proud to have Zoe on the cover this year, as she is well deserving of the spotlight shining on her and all of her accomplishments.
In Remembrance of:
Twenty-three years ago, on a Tuesday morning in 2001, at 8:14 am, America was forever changed. To this day, many of us can still remember where we were and what we were doing when we heard or saw the tragic news unfolding on the radio or television as our country was under a terrorist attack. We must never forget those who lost their lives that day, and all those who suffered in the aftermath. To this day, we continue to honor and pray for the victims, the families, the first responders, and all whose lives were changed on September 11. The losses, sacrifices, and heroism of that day will never be forgotten as we pause to remember 9/11.
Remember, we all should be working to live, not living to work!
See you in October,
