| January 2005 "I can't
believe another year has come and gone already. It seems like
yesterday that we were finishing our plans for 2004, and now it's 2005
already.
As I was reflecting on 2004 that with all the issues we have faced, it
was a good feeling to know that we were able to overcome these
obstacles, accomplish our goals and have a great year. I think we were
able to give our people the leadership they needed that allowed them
to become better leaders themselves and bring the success we enjoyed.
The challenges in the future will never disappear. However, as I look
down the road I feel as a company we are in such a better position now
then where we were five years ago. Our leadership has grown. Out
Company has grown. Our Success has grown.
Does that ring a bell? Seems to me that you started working with us at
Gossen Corporation about five years ago. I remember the first time we
met as a group and you introduced yourself. You stated that you were
here to help us succeed and become better leaders. Never to be held
hostage again. And once we accomplished that, we could never go back
to being mediocre. You also said that you were different than other
consultants. That you were going to be here for the long run. That you
would be here and help us through the hard times and be here when we
celebrate the good times.
How big and how true those statements were. You have fulfilled each
one while making believers out of all whom doubted. Never the less, we
were tested and we have persevered and become successful at Gossen
Corporation. This year has proved it is not just luck. We've worked
hard as a team and made it happen.
Mark, I know now that without your help, your inspiration, dedication,
insight we could not have been as successful as we are today. We have
become a good team and I look forward to our continued success. I
wanted to let you know that I appreciate all you do for my development
as well as for the rest of the team at Gossen. You have gone beyond
the call of duty, where no man has gone before. Have a great 2005 and
thanks again."
