And Now A Word For — Gozzer Ranch

Hello Dave,

I know it is kinda fun to poke and prod a big outfit like Gozzer. Everyone secretly enjoys hearing about bad behavior from those we might envy. However, the recent reports of misconduct such as speeding, crowding at the gas pump and worse is representative of bad manners of an employee or two. I know some of the principals in this company and they would never condone that type of behavior. They are considerate individuals and there is always more than one side to any story. For instance, they have in their employ a gentleman whose son competed and was a finalist in the television show "So You Think You Can Dance". They generously provided him air fare, hotel, and ground transportation to Los Angeles to see his son in the final performance. If you are going to chortle at the bad, you might consider interspersing a story or two about the good.

P.S. By the way, I also forgot to mention the $80,000 they raised for the Boys and Girls Club, the $25,000 for the Library plus supporting other community charities. Let's give credit where credit is due.
