May, 1998

... I received an AWARD today from the entire Ohio Retail District of Shell Oil Products Company. It's called the "1997 Ohio District Pace Setter Award". It recognizes outstanding achievement in setting the pace in all aspects of gasoline marketing excellence. This award is being presented to me for my contribution to the success of the district. How about that? It could not have been received at a better time. My annual review date is 25 March. I'm crossing my fingers but not holding my breath.
