Cold Weather reminds me

Unknown

when it was really cold and we walked 5 miles to school everyday. They never cancelled school yeah really>

I remember my first years working for the gas company (back at the turn of the century) hey I am not that old. We never got to go home and worked many times round the clock. No one had any rules for when you quit. We were driven by the fact that people did not have any heat. The rule back then was no one went home until all the no heats were fixed. Sure is not that way today. I have a record I am very proud of, in over 43 years I have never left a customer with out heat. The only exception to that would be dangerus situations and then we would leave them with some electric heaters. You always found a way to get them on and did it safely.

I never walked 5 miles to school....

but I did used to walk 5 miles each morning delivering newspapers when I was a kid in upstate NY where cold was real cold and the snow was deep. Back then, all of the newspapers went in the customer's door too. As far as I remember, I only got a ride around that route once during a drenching downpour and my father's car overheated. I never asked him again after that. I get calls occasionally from the Providence Journal asking if I would like to have the paper delivered to the house every morning. I always ask them if it will be put in the door instead of being flung somewhere in the front yard, the bushes or a mud puddle in general proximity to my house. Their answer is always the same and so is mine......no.

As far as not leaving anyone cold Tim, I have only known you personally for about a year and a half, but I have known of you since the early eighties. Everyone I have known that has dealt or worked with you had great things to say. You indeed have been an asset to this industry and are a person that truly does care. Just wanted you to know that.

Thanks Glenn and you

are right about the Journal, I stopped getting it because I never knew where it might end up.

I remember...

walking 12 miles to school, every day, uphill both ways, in driving blizzards, both directions all year long!

Good work ethics aren't born, they're MADE!

Good Job men! (and women!)
