On tonight's episode of "Undercover Boss" on
CBS, president and CEO Andy Wirth gets a makeover and goes undercover to
Lake Tahoe, Calif. The Squaw Valley mountain is famous for hosting the
1960 Winter Olympics and the epicenter of big mountain skiing. Alpine
Meadows offers a family-friendly atmosphere with excellent snow sports
for the entire family. The founder of the empire was Conrad Wirth,
Andy's grandfather, who was the Director of the National Parks Services
for eleven years. When Andy took over, he purchased Alpine Meadows to
give the two resorts a more family-friendly atmosphere, where Squaw
Valley mainly catered to the expert skiers.
Thus, technology was on a roll. Bill Gates had founded
the Microsoft Corporation in 1975 and McDonalds had created a drive
thru. However, my mother was more interested in her own life and leisure
time. In the seventies she had graduated high school, entered the
workforce, and married my father in 1976 and started her own
family.
Finally, during the long New Year weekend, they'd done it. The
man told her to get out and she'd finally found the strength to take him
up on it. She woke Teddie up, told him to take his bike and go to the
new place, grabbed a few things, including Charlie, and walked out,
letting the security door slam behind her. She'd never told the man that
she already had a place to go, had had it lined up for weeks now, in
anticipation of this moment. Teddie would get there before she did, but
she and Charlie and what was left of her life wouldn't be far
behind.

Tom Dyer is returning to RSR Motorsports, as
well, and he will be co-driving with Andrew Novich in the No. 196 Honda.
As the sole newcomer to the team, Novich is looking forward to
benefitting from the knowledge of his teammates. The
first voice I heard when I came out of surgery was Harrison's. Harrison
called me on the phone and said, "Hey, are you okay?" I said,
"Yeah, I'm good." He said, "Well, then you need to get back to work." I
said, "Are you serious?" He said, "That's the way this cookie crumbles."
So I went back to work. The show doesn't stop for anybody.
My mother and father enjoyed much of their leisure time with
drive in movies, watching TV shows such as MASH, All in the Family,
Dukes of Hazard, and Andy Griffith. They enjoyed the music of Merle
Haggard, Freddy Hart and Conway Twitty. Lastly, they enjoyed fast cars
as well as many people did in the seventies. Drag racing was a fun event
for both my mother and my father. In the seventies my father owned a
1972 Ford Galaxy 500, 1970 Road Runner, 1973 Ranchero, and a 1976
buy truck or car. The cost of a new
vehicle was around $6000. Over all, the most rememberable event for my
mother in the seventies was in 1977 when Elvis Presley died. It may be a word, a symbol or a motto but having a message can
do more to keep attorneys on the same page than almost anything else.
Decide what your message and is and stick to it, whether it be stamping
your symbol on letters and emails or boldly displaying your firm mantra
on the company website. Repetition will help attorneys stay on message
and clients recognize your presence. The end of the story is
we were able to get the lawyer for Ford Motor Credit to accept a much
lesser amount because he was trying to get a default judgment on his
fees. That was illegal here in Florida, so with his hands in the cookie
jar, he just wanted to get it over rather than have his name placed in
front of the Florida Bar Assn. So
there you have it. I have listed some of the more popular accessories
for a Ford truck. Of course there are many more such as performance
tuners and if you are going all out you can completely upgrade the
suspension. That will be another post for another day however. Until
then happy trucking my friends, hope to see you out at the truck
shows.
