"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." “I have never worked so hard and had so much fun with a job that I knew was going away.”
