What Makes a Crowd of Southwest Airlines Employees Get Loud?

This blog post is a draft of comments I plan to make at my mom’s retirement party today. I’m sure I will make some changes in it as I say it — I am really bad with scripts! — but it will probably be close to what I say/said. When I was asked if I or a sibling would mind… Read More
