Taking full advantage of the extra day this year, we traveled to 14 cities and spoke with 18 different groups. (An added bonus, we are now on a first name basis with most of the St. Louis airport staff!)

On one of the few days I worked from our office last month, we were able to hang a piece of art in our lobby. As beautiful as it is, it’s the process of how it was created and the story of the artist who brought it to life that is most meaningful to me. Let me explain.

1:28.7	which is nice. One of the St. Louis Airport staff. So we have that going for us, which is nice.
1:34.8	One of the few days I worked from our office last month, though, we were able to hang a piece of art that is now resting up high in our lobby. As beautiful as this artwork is, it is the process of how
