Good stuff, Brent. I totally agree. All of us, including corporations, can operate without personal interaction at the local level. I find that to be sad. When I worked for Philllips 55 years ago, I liked getting to know Boots Adams, Bill Keeler, Bill Douce and others (yes, Tug Baughn, too) and chatted briefly with them as we shared an elevator, or a reception at Woolaroc or a Christmas party in the Adams Building. I’m afraid we have turned into digital blips, without ever sniffing the expensive cologne that Mr. Douce wore, or sharing a ride to the airport with Boots Adams because he saw me standing with a suitcase by my side as I awaited a Philllips limousine. Keeping it close … that’s a rule we need to rediscover.
