      A notice dated April 1, 2006 was sent out to the “guys” with desks in the DeWitt office asking of each if they would like to participate in a G.O.L.F. outing in DeWitt on Saturday May 6, 2006. In this case G.O.L.F. was an acronym for Getting Organized, Looking Fine. Was the notice just an April Fools joke (dropping a hint to organize) or a real request for all to participate?


       From my own experience, I was getting a little frustrated looking for the one document or work paper I needed amongst the stacks of papers on my desk, hidden in a closet, or “filed” on the floor. Looking around the office I could sense others might be in the same situation. We are talking here about years of accumulated correspondence, etc, that just keeps stacking up, most of which should have long ago gone to the recycle bin. Day to day, everyone is busy and it is difficult to tackle a project like this during normal business hours.

        The invitation was sent out and all the foursomes were filled, with only Tony being a little late for his tee time. Notice in a picture below the “plush putting green look” of the carpet that you can now get to in Tony’s office after the stacks of paper on his floor were elsewise organized.

There is a toss up as to who should get the reward for “Most Improved” office look. Marc Whitman unveiled family pictures and

even got a clock hung on a wall; Steve Yerington may have recycled and reorganized more paper than anyone; and John Kulper being with us for less than two years, cleaned up the most on a prorated years of service basis.

The previously mentioned group provided the best before and after pictures, but all others made their impact as well. Thanks to Terry Nichols, Wendell Wuestenberg, Brian Billick, John Tuthill, Matt Petersen and Hollis Emerson for participating. Special recognition goes to Carmen Billick for getting Tony started on his office organization.

For now anyway, looking at offices, it appears everyone is organized and under control! ….. or will we need to schedule another G.O.L.F. outing in 2007?
