Friend and co-worker Bob Feldisch has been with our company about a year longer than I. He’s taking on new duties and the post on our corporate blog is note-worthy.

When King Bob started with Learfield:

• Ronald Reagan was President
• Lee Iacocca was pitching K-Cars
• “The Terminator” was released
  
• Michael Jackson’s hair caught on fire while filming a Pepsi commercial
• Apple released the very first Macintosh

Since that time:

• King Bob has logged about one million frequent flyer miles serving his clients
• He’s driven over half a million miles across Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois and Oklahoma
• He has generated nearly 30 million dollars in sales for the company

This makes a great blog post but you probably wouldn’t see this much imagination and fun in a corporate, inter-office news release. I love the fact that the blog was was the first and –as far as I know– only place this news was posted.
