My First Dollar
Just the other day I framed the first dollar we made at The Split Rail Country Market. Maybe framing isn't the right word, more like laminated it with an ad we ran in the Morgan County Press announcing the grand opening. Before I laminated the dollar and ad, I wrote, "Wally K" under it since I didn't know how to spell Wally's last name. He always told me it was Polish and too long for me to know, spell or even pronounce.
I know now since Wally was in a car accident last week and I saw his name in the paper.
I also know what that first dollar means to me since I just got a call saying Wally died tonight from injuries brought on by the accident.
Thank you for that dollar Walter, you'll be missed.

Thank you for honoring Wally. Sharing the story of your first dollar truly is an example of how important your customers are. They are not your customers but your friends whether they are there for one visit or weekly. The most beautiful sound to someone's ears is their name. Thank you for learning Wallys.

Hi Bill - You guys have really been blessed..I am glad to know you. I'm sorry I haven't tuned in sooner. Your story about Wally and your first dollar bill is just a reflection of what a neat person you are and why you are so successful.

Well, it only seems fitting to update this blog.
Walter returned to us 3 weeks ago, in the form of a 10 week old black lab! He is the most darling puppy ever and it seemed fitting to call him Wally in memory of our old friend. Maybe I can talk Bill into posting his picture?
