I'm Very Proud of some of the Home Town Folks!!

I want to share with you all a part of my little home town. I'm so very proud of them at this moment. I grew up with these people around and in my life.

One of the companies there is showing true values in the light of todays tough economic times. The owner's aunt was my kindergarten teacher!

Please take a minute to watch the video and maybe share it with a few of the large corporations out there that need to see something like this.





Thanks!
