[foothills gary]

I have no problem making a list of people that I deal with frequently(even daily) that have grasped the concept of product and service excellence.I have dealt with many for years and have watched them get continually better at what they do.I think each person that frequents this site could do the same if you made your own lists.We will survive and thrive economically,I believe,because we have inherited an ethos that includes hard work,deferral of immediate gratification for long term betterment,and rugged individualism-values I believe most Americans(especially those in small businesses,the backbone of American business)espouse.Many are as close as the advertisers at this site.Don't get discouraged-we are going to win because of who we are as Americans.
