I recently wrote a short article requesting feedback and input from our readers and subscribers. Well, I got it! Boy, did I get it! While the vast majority of your comments were very positive and supportive, we did receive a few brutal assaults. After reading both of those messages, I feel compelled to share our…
Wait! Don’t tune out. This article isn’t about dangerous animals, the City of Detroit, or a football team. As always, the focus is on leadership and the by-product is CLASS. I’ve been a proud Detroit Lions football fan since I could waddle across my yard with a football under my arm. That was way back…

I’m certain the same thing has happened when it comes to products, city and state location,…
Back in May, I wrote a blog article about an unbelievable situation which took place in the sky above New York City.
