Hi Pinkey,

Your post will be applauded by many - thank you for being true to what you believe and setting the bar.

In your post, you referred to a quote that means so much to me personally ... I met a man who was an successful businessman, community leader and later in his life (after a few health-related wake up calls) he made some significant life changes and with that came changes in the quality of his life and his family's life, and in the lives of his customers.  His name was Jerry Throgmartin and he also owned Vista Verde Guest Ranch in Steamboat Springs, CO.  A breathtaking 5-Star Dude/Guest Ranch, it was probably more of a hobby at first, yet his presence and wisdom touched his staff, his family, his guests and brief acquaintances like me at such a powerful, unforgettable level it will be with me forever.

He died suddenly and unexpectedly after a brief illness last year.  At his memorial service, his staff were quoting their favorite Jerry-isms, and one of my favorites is:  "Do the right thing, all the time, every day ... even when no one is looking."    The world needs more leaders and people like Jerry Throgmartin. Ride on, Cowboy and thank you, Jerry.
