Friendly Office Bet

If you have ever visited our facility for a tour, you are probably well aware that Tom Huth, Vice President of Operations, is a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan. The walls of his office are covered with Steelers memorabilia and he can usually be found sporting his Steelers socks with his dress pants.

Tom has spent the last 6 years boasting the Steelers success to Willie Geiser, President, CEO and huge Cleveland Browns fan. This year these two hardcore fans had a friendly bet. Who’s ever team won the other person had to wear the opposing team jersey for a day. After a long season of loses Willie was able to prove that he actually cheers for a “winning” team--- The Cleveland Browns had FINALLY defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Security Tip of the Month

Leave Your Purse at Home

During the holiday season women primarily do most of the shopping and it is very easy to steal a purse along with your identity. Take a wallet that fits in your coat pocket and leave your purse at home. The best advice is to take your drivers license and a credit card with you shopping and store them in your front pocket. If you must carry a purse, use one that zips and hangs in front of you. NEVER leave your purse unattended.
