The NAFEM (North American Food Equipment Manufacturers) show is currently at the Orlando Convention Center and has kept us busy with meetings, dinners and surprisingly - awards - for Tom and Nass Parts and Service.

We were invited to dinner by Manitowoc, a manufacturing company that we provide parts and service for; it was held at Epcot's America Pavillion in their Grand Rotunda. This is the same company that honored Tom in 2004 with the National Award of Excellence. After photo ops with Mickey Mouse, and a nice dinner they announced four national awards. Tom was surprised to hear Nass Parts and Service's name called for the "Excellence For Training" award. What an honor (for Tom) and joy (for me) to watch my husband commended for his pursuit of training those in his company. What did he do with the award as soon as he sat down? He handed it to Jim Kramer, our service manager, because Tom said he is the one who should have this award for the way he leads our Service Department. That's my husband - and I couldn't be more proud to share life with him. Congratulations Tom - I love you!
