Twenty years ago, along with people from several departments, I won a Core Values Award

There was a very nice paragraph read aloud with such nice things written by my co-workers. I got my picture taken with my boss and the CEO. I also got a clock engraved with my name and the year.

During the presentation my boss, the VP of Ops, suggested the CEO ask m about my shoes.

I smiled, and inside I also cringed. Was that the most memorable thing about me? (Maybe this shoe thing had gotten out of hand.)

I had a lot of shoes.

In my office I had a rather large shelf just for shoe-stu

Calendars.

Statues.

Pictures.

Thimbles.

Magnets.

Key-chains.

Scarves.

I had about as many boxes of shoes as I had boxes of books. And I had a lot of books.

It wasn’t always that way.
