The Thing About Shoes. Top Story - August 2024.
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.
