In a previous life, when I managed political campaigns for love and money, I used to implore candidates not to mention anyone except their spouses in their victory (or defeat) speeches. I learned first hand how painful it feels to be left out of the list of “thank yous”. It happened more than once.
In this context, I’ve thought a lot about my previous post. I didn’t mean to imply that Paul was our only superstar. Of course I stand by what I posted but I want everyone who works at Caplansky’s to know that we are all superstars in our own way. It may be easy or convenient to highlite the contribution of an outgoing team member like Paul but that doesn’t denigrate or diminish the contribution that we all make.
From time to time I may mention someone who does something exceptional or funny or interesting but I’ll do my best to resist playing favourites in this blog or in the deli.
