		<description><![CDATA[Wow!
Irwin, I just met you an hour or so ago to discuss your upcoming CCW bags (thank you for meeting with me).
Arriving home, I checked your web site, and found this page.
I am amazed to read your perspective that you see the leadership pyramid:
&quot;... standing on it’s head, or point ...&quot;.
In my earlier days as a (in the trenches) turnaround consultant, I frequently drew a leadership chart with me at the bottom point like you described.  I would tell my people:
&quot;See, you (including my department managers) are up there above me, and if there is anything you can&#039;t handle during the 6-12 month turnaround, just &#039;tilt&#039; and let the excessive burden slide down.  I&#039;ll be there at the bottom to catch it so you don&#039;t buckle under the load&quot;.

I&#039;ve heard that beside every great man is a great woman, and as congratulated above by Barbara, I am sure that Margery is that great woman.  I was not so fortunate for many years, but as I celebrate 4 years with a new &quot;faithful believing partner (wife)&quot;, you both have inspired me to renew &quot;The American Dream&quot;.

Thank you for all you do for your people, America, and the world!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi there, I and all the females in my family, and in My Sorority LOVE your Well Back Bag, even My &quot;Build a Bear&quot; has Her own WBB!. many of us {Humans} have several different colors and textures of WBB !. My traveling daughter carries the large one on trips, and my grand Daughters have smaller, sizes. My Daughter gave me a new, Navy Blue, Nylon, WBB and then found one for My Bear to match {almost} too cute. Well, I have a broken hip and used a walker for a year now!. I&#039;ve had to use a &quot;tot&quot; over the handle instead of &quot;My Choice&quot;,WBB!. In getting out the newest Navy bag, now over a year old, but not used very much, I discovered the Zipper is faulty!!  :-(           I don&#039; feel this is in any way YOUR fault, I&#039;m not at all complaining!!. I&#039;m Crying!! :-(   I NEED MY purse!!  I&#039;m hoping somehow to Ask You folks to replace My Zipper in my Bag, { @ my expense, of course! :-)  Somehow it was  put  away folded wrong or something., but I wouldn&#039;t know where to purchase the RIGHT ,Kind, and Size zipper, nor be able to install it the right way!  I don&#039;t wish to carry around a SLOPPY job to advertise for your product. Please tell me where to send my favorite purse, to be repaired, and how much?$. I can either send a check w/it  to include return shipping,and repair costs, or put it on my bank card!!.  PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE! I remain Your Biggest FAN. Awaiting instructions!!! THANKS   ERNELYN GAIL CARPENTER!! &lt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi, Mr. Gaffin!  I&#039;m sure you don&#039;t remember me, but I have been to your company several times, although that was almost 20 years ago.  I worked for a small Communications company in Kingston and you always made the bags we used at &quot;Corporate Pep Rallies&quot; and such.  

I believe I must have been one of the first people to purchase your wonderful &quot;Ameribag&quot;, that too, was a long time ago.  I must finally replace my original black leather one.  I didn&#039;t mind the browning that age brings to black leather, but when my new puppy decided how much he  liked it too, it was just a little too much...so here I am at YOUR website, which was not even a thought when I met you all those years ago.

Congratulations on a great product, great marketing (I get almost every catalog in the world and you are in so many of them; for some reason it makes ME proud!) and great success.  I am from Catskill originally, and wish your Catskill bag was more like the Ameribag!  But it&#039;s cool just to see Catskill on a website!

Congratulations again.  You are a  great example of &quot;The American Dream&quot; which unlike some think, you work hard, give up all your money on an idea, have a faithful believing partner (your wife) and don&#039;t ever give up!  

I betthe thought of just sitting  on your butt with your hand out waiting for someone to give you anything never even entered your mind.   YOU JUST DID IT!  Great job]]></description>
