As we enter the holiday season and approach the end of the year, it’s a time of year that the thoughts of many people turn to gifts – a time of giving gifts to children and to each other and a time of reflecting and being thankful for the many kinds of gifts we have received. It’s also a time of year when we gather with family and reminisce of years past.

As many of you’ve no doubt learned by now, our founder and president, Gary Wilson, passed away last Monday afternoon.

Gary was bright, witty, humble and (obviously) a great businessman.  He was able to build an immediate rapport with the people around him whether he was in a drivers’ room, meeting with a group of drivers or in a board room, meeting with a group of Fortune 500 executives.

If you ever met Gary, you immediately liked him.   If you knew him well, you loved him.  He treated everyone fairly and made all that he met feel important.  His loss creates a void for his friends and family that cannot be filled and leaves us with memories that will never be forgotten.  I know that I am a better person for having the blessing of getting to know and work with him.

The images from Houston TX of the devastating impact of Hurricane Harvey and the potential of even more destruction in Florida from Hurricane Irma are both heartbreaking – in terms of the loss of life and massive destruction of property, and heartwarming – in the heroic efforts of ordinary people to help their neighbors, friend and stranger alike, to escape the flooding and bring them, their children, pets, etc. to safety.

If you’ve been watching the news lately, you know that there is a lot going on in the world of health care and health insurance.  As we are all aware, the costs of health care have risen steadily over the last several years.  Last year, the cost of FirstFleet’s medical plan exceeded $10 million.  Over and above the weekly deduction from your paycheck, the Company contributes on average over $8,000 annually for each family covered by the plan. In an effort to control costs long-term and provide access to health care for all Americans, the Federal gover...

Please also take this time to reflect on the heroes who emerged that tragic day. They were everyday Americans who showed the remarkable bravery, courage and resolve that inspired our nation then and continue to inspire us now. ...
