"The one thing that I don't think you convey clearly enough is how you held us together and got the best work you could out of us. You took the best of a bad situation and made good people do great things to achieve the company's objectives. We had no reason to work hard for upper management. We did it though, because we wanted to support each other and we trusted you.

You inspired us in ways that I don't think you even realize. The financial knowledge that you bring, along with your personal ability to motivate and inspire people, makes you uniquely qualified to do this kind of work." February 2009
