Following in the Footsteps of a Giant

"Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue, oh what those five feet can do... (Has Anybody Seen My Girl?)" was a popular song of the 1920s. I recall my father singing it to my mother...


Oh, what those five feet can do... last week, my powerhouse of a mother was here to greet and welcome two additional members of the Stride, Inc. team. We welcomed Dooley P. and Tim D. Both gentleman have come on board as Packaging and Assembly Specialists.

This is Dooley's first work experience in a paying job, he has had a great deal of volunteer work prior to joining Stride. Dooley has brought a great new way of thinking to Stride... he's intellectual and engaging. The first week was a little rough for him and we decided to tweak his hours a bit to ease him into the workday.

Tim is coming back to Stride. He used to work here many years ago and only recently decided he would like to come back. Tim has been persistent and exuberant in seeking employment! So persistent in fact; that our VP of Sales has threatened to put him on sales calls!




Oh, what those five feet can do... my mother amazes me; she has accomplished remarkable things with her life and it is a privilege to carry on the dreams she has of offering employment to this special  workforce.
