What a thoughtful and relevant tribute you made to Charlie Horton (Supply House Times founder) in the January issue. To know Charlie was to love Charlie with his intensity and enthusiasm coupled with his dedication to our industry. You remind me of Charlie in that regard. There are people like you who have seen our industry grow from the mom-and-pop style with a few large chains doing things in the same old way and then looking nearly 60 years later and noting the daily progress being made in our industry by thoughtful deliberation receptive to change.
