Valley Echoes
by Gary Godfrey
Telling It Like It Is.
Ginger scolds me when I put our entire life in ink.
Shes usually right, and in this case she was spot on!
Several weeks back, I wrote about our business and I was
honest enough to tell the truth; that we were having some
financial difficulties. Since then, we have had several calls
and direct contact with customers who come in the office
to place ads, pay bills, or to just say, Hello.
Everyone asks the same thing. Are you going out of busi-
ness?
Ive been here since 1963. I was a smiling 17 years of age,
had to wait one year before I was old enough to get a real
job at NCR, General Motors, or Frigidaire. With the
exception of three years at NCR, my entire life has been
with Arens Corporation.
Heres the thing. We are in a financial bubble. But listen
to me very carefully. Were not going under! We just
have a few accountability problems. I was so lax that a
few items went way out of control. So, like any good
owner would do, I decided to get the place back on the
right track. So far, Ive managed to find the problems and
its just a matter of time until we will be back to normal ...
which is running a business in the black instead of the
red.
Everything is under control. Weve been a successful pub-
lishing company since 1954, and I plan to add another 63
years.
Just like your business or household, things get out of
control and by the time you catch them, the damage is
done. This doesnt mean youre going to quit, it simply
means your going to fix it the only way you know how.
Thats by rolling up your sleeves and getting back to work.
I hope this explains our little dilemma, and all of you con-
tinue to read this column and use this little paper like it
was your own.
This weeks bottom line: I read this recently and want to
share it with you. What makes a good boss, grandfather,
and great grandfather? Be present. Be interested. Be flexi-
ble. Be accepting. Be playful. Be supportive. Be helpful. Be
a storyteller. Be a listener and reader of stories. And bonus
points if you hug and kiss your wife everyday.
