I'm reminded of a day waaaay back in the 80's. I was a new manager and had just flew from Maui to Honolulu for a meeting. When I walked into your office, my jaw fell must have fell on the ground, astonished by how beautiful your desk was and how awesome the view out the window. I was so intimidated by it all! I don't remember what I said but I'll never forget what you said. You looked up from your papers, smiled and simply said "we're just people." I never forgot that and those words have served me ever since. I learned to never let what something or someone "looks like" prejudge my actions in sales...or in life! Ron, the view and the desk are NOTHING without the man behind it. Enjoy!!! What a great story!

It was the best video project i ever had the opportunity to perform, and that is an understatement. Thanks for that experience Ron. this message was intended to compliment you and add to your goose bumps.

Everyone remember that you can't give away anything in this life, as it all comes back multiplied. So in reality, "giving" is the most selfish act you can perform.

On top of that the cream is that you continue to give and the giving is part of the karma of life. You are an INSPIRATION and they work for a company named...INSPIRATION. How you figga? mahalo, p Aloha Ron,
