Thanksgiving has a special meaning to me this year. Lately it seems there has been a rash of hard times and tragedies with people in the Philly area Turf industry. Sadly last week, Glen Thomas who was the long time Superintendent at Edgmont CC passed away. He was found by the shop and sounds like it was a heart attack. Glen was one of the the true good guys. He was someone who got IT. I always enjoyed talking with him and miss visiting with him.
The other tough one is Tom Gosselin of Overbrook GC has been diagnosed with Leukemia. Tom is not someone I consider a customer, he is a good friend. He and I have been golf partners and have had a lot of laughs together over the years. We have known each other since high school. The good news is Tom is way too competitive a person to let something like this beat him!
So this Thanksgiving I am truly thankful for Family & Friends more than ever and really believe it is not worth sweating the little things.
Thank you for taking the time to read my Blog this past year!
And to quote Ferris Bueller " Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
Happy Thanksgiving!
