aubsmell 0 #1 December 21, 2004 I’m not really sure if I’m in the right forum, I guess I’ll leave that up to the moderators, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all the Dropzone.com’ers, and happy holidays. I just wanted to take a few minutes and let you all know that I’ve really enjoyed all the PM’s and replies to posts I’ve gotten from you all this year. In my job here at Aerodyne I have learned a tremendous amount, about sales, skydiving, customer service and just basically how to run a small/medium sized business. It has been a tremendous year for me in personal growth, with huge ups and downs. I still feel very lucky to be working with and for skydivers on a daily basis. I’ve made a lot of new friends, and lost a few precious ones as well. It is a strange industry, where our customer base is often made up primarily of our peers. This then demands a higher level of integrity, and accountability, not to mention the implied responsibility for the safety of your friends on equipment we sell them. That being said, I’m very happy with the direction our company is heading, and we can only navigate that way with the input of all of the skydivers out there, and all of you guys who have posted, pointed, applauded, condemned, cheered for, ripped on, questioned, and affirmed, our actions and our visions as a company. I personally appreciate it; it helps me improve at my job. I guess I could run on for hours, as I pack up my house to move (across the bay to Tampa) and as I pack my bags for the Dropzone.com Holiday Boogie in Eloy, but I’ll keep it short, and just go with another big THANK YOU. For 2004: Thanks for all the input, Thanks for all the advice. Thanks for all the questions Thanks for all the answers. Thanks for refusing to believe you cannot fly! (I stole that from a Birdman T-shirt) And once again Have a great Holiday Season...
