Do You Recognize Your Name Here?

Many thanks to Phil Horlacher for sending in this issue.
I believe Phil kept this all these years because he was told he had to memorize all these names to get a promotion. Thank you, Phil.......you're promoted.

Interestingly, you will also find out who took your parking spot the day the photo was taken.

There is a napkin on one of the tables with a plan for the "Ultimate" Supply Rental Deal.

Notice how the Sales Table is washed out...
Everyone else is in color, or rich textures.
The Sales Department had an imbalance of ink.
Too much red, not enough black.
Something to do with Gazpacho, or the cost of shrimp in Phoenix.

If you like to see more, send in your pictures.
I will make sure I put a lot of dust on them before I scan them.

Ron Muzzillo says...."Rosemont"...or was it "Rosebud"?

Our spies have retrieved the following missive from Ron Muzzillo to Manny Roth.
My only comments here are...

Do they serve Gazpacho?

"Manny:
I spoke to my brother last night (in Chicago) and told him about
our tentative plans for a lunch or dinner reunion in Chicago.
He told me there are a lot of great places that could accommodate
us but one in particular, that his contracting group uses, is
the Rosewood Restaurant, in Rosemont (Higgins and River Road.)
Its also close to a number of hotels if people are traveling from
out-of-town:
Keep in touch-
Ron M"

Hey...wait a minute...I remember the inside of the Rosemont Emergency Room when a golf ball hit me square on my top lip. Some of you may remember it whizzing by you on its way to me. I have never shaved my mustache ever since because it now says "Titleist" backwards on my lip.

Gazpacho Takes The Lead


With only months left to decide on a menu, Gazpacho soup has taken the lead, once more.
It is a logical choice, and there is a very interesting story how it got on the menu in the first place.

It was another day on the road, and the meeting was brutal. The "numbers" were in, and the expenses were exceeding revenues. We were going through the wringer that day, sharpening and whittling our budgets under careful eyes. The meetings were no longer entertaining motivational experiences. It was a case of cut expenses fast or be gone. It was a gloomy day, until we were reprieved and invited to dinner. There were twenty of us at the table, and everyone was just glad to be there, so when it came time to order, everyone selected the least expensive item they could find.

When my turn came, I ordered a (small) dinner salad, and asked if they could also bring some Gazpacho soup. Then the person next to me ordered Gazpacho soup, and soon, everyone added Gazpacho soup to their order, except for the person glaring at me who was paying the check.

I had a lot explaining to do, but I weathered the storm.

Anyone for Gazpacho?
