Today marks Studly Doright’s 40th year with the same company. He started out on the very bottom rung in the maintenance crew and steadily climbed to the position of Area Director. We still are slightly amazed at how far he’s come with only a high school education.
The rise to AD included multiple moves, first from Texas to North Dakota, then to Kansas, followed by our first stint in Florida, an 8-year detour to Illinois and finally (we hope) back to Florida.
He shared with me the email from his Vice President announcing this anniversary and I got teary eyed reading it and all the follow up emails from the folks he’s worked with over the years. I’m married to a special guy, but I didn’t need to get that information from others. Still, it’s so nice to read all the memories others have of his time with them.
So here’s to Studly! Thanks for being the hardest working, most consistently trustworthy guy I know.
Peace, people!
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Allow me to be the first to like your post and to say amazing. BOTH of you. xxxxxx

He’s one of the top 4 most influential men in my life.
And no, I won’t give him the satisfaction of identifying where he is on that scale nor will I say if there have been influential women appearing above him in the list.
Having known Studly for the better part of 45 years, I can vouch for his goodness.
