Sherry with two of her dearest friends- Craig ( Regional manager) for Mid Atlantic- and Debby Barnes from Richmond , SSC manager. We have known both for almost 13 years. Debby is her closest friend from Dal tile and Craig at one time managed a store in Albany and Ricky Williams from Olean worked for him. Small world as we both worked with Ricky's father Rick in Olean and Ricky worked for me as a summer student. By the way- isn't Sherry Radiant!
Health and Nutrition pays off for when you retire!
Jeff (SSC) manager at Alexandria- my old store and Chase- sales rep. from Richmond area! Both have helped her in her recent job as Sales Rep. NW Va. & WVA. Both are true friends and allies of Sherry. When you need support and people to count on- both stepped up to help. Thanks guys- it was appreciated.
The dinner was held at Clyde's in Broadlands-about 10 Min's from our home. A fabulous place that has five different bars and can seat I guess more than 500 people! It is one of our favorite places to take people when they visit, comprised of buildings from the 1700 torn down in New England . They have a horse racing theme with carriages hanging from the ceiling. The place is huge- you can get lost in there, and Sherry choose it for her dinner. Many thanks to those of the party who drove up to two hours to be here.
Tammy and Marcus were there to help celebrate.
As well as Sherry's sister Debbie from Manassas.
From Corporate- Scott- left side- In charge of the East coast-Vice President. He actually is the second from his family that we have worked for. We both worked for his father Duane - at Olean when he was plant manager there. Scott graduated from Bradford Central Christian in Bradford Pa. So we had a connection to back home, and shared many memories of the past. To the right is Ted. A mentor and close confidant of Sherry- when she accepted the sales job- it was Ted - who is the other sales person from our area- who showed her the ropes and became her sounding board in times of stress and need. Thank you good buddy- we have talked thousands of times and we will be there for you always!
The praise that was heaped upon her was genuine, the accomplishments many and the gifts beautiful. It meant a lot to her and the event was perfect. It went as she dreamed it would- and she was so excited that she did not fall asleep until 3:30 AM! Five hours after it was over!
Her talk was spell binding- she has such a way of words-and everyone loves her.
She is so passionate and everyone was hanging on her words. A beautiful response
from a wonderful and beautiful women!
