Thanks for the Memos

August 28, 1996
To: Lars Nolan, Benjamin Dean, Hank Crowley
From: Mike Andrews
Subject: American Work Ethic

On Ellis Island stands the Statue of Liberty. This proud symbol of our national heritage has presided over the entrance to this energetic land of generations of immigrants who have forged the bounty around us from the rich supply of dreams for a brighter tomorrow. The product of this dream has been a surging and relentless pulse as of one great entity of which we, as men, are but parts. It carries us forward on a tide of achievement with pride, accomplishment with resolve, and pizza with Cola-Cola. This dream though carries a responsibility which begins with starting our appointed jobs at the appointed times.

In the future, please be sure to adjust the start time on your time cards to reflect occassions when 3:30 p.m. finds your motovational reserves at a low ebb. It is my hope that your motivational reserves will never be at a low ebb at 3:30 p.m. and further that my hopes will never be turned to dispair. Remember: "When duty whispers low, "thou must," the youth replies, "I can." If you can't begin at 3:30 regularly, see me for attitude adjustment.
