Nice guys and girls finish first!

Anyone who knows my husband or who knew his dad, Jack, would likely call them modest, humble, unassuming and such. Scott and Jack both share(d) the simple nature of not needing the biggest house or the most expensive cars; they both are/were most happy due to the people with whom they surrounded themselves.

A few weeks back, we got some pretty exciting news. Hunts Photo and Video, Scott, Gary (Jack and their paternal grandfather Solomon)'s store was winning an award. Not just any award; for Hunts has been named Massachusetts Retailer of the Year by the Retailers Association of Massachusetts. Scott called me to tell me of this news. I could hear and feel his joy and pride over the phone.

Yesterday, Hunts was publicly recognized in The Boston Herald, Patriot Ledger and at an awards luncheon at Bentley in Waltham. Scott, as he ALWAYS does, spoke seamlessly off the cuff with his thank you and acknowledged his staff and their work-not one to ever say HE has much to do with the company's success. All of the reps that Hunts does business with attended the luncheon along with nearly all of the managers, some of the staff and a few other important people.

As Scott got dressed yesterday morning, in his atypical suit and tie, I think it set in for him; this was big and he had had a BIG hand in it. It was/is such an incredibly proud moment for me as his wife. To be able to have Scott see what everyone else sees in him-Hunts is made up of people whom Scott, Gary and Jack are proud to have work with (not for) them, honored to be there to support and guide and most of all they feel blessed to have them as part of what makes Hunts THE RETAILER OF THE YEAR!!!!!!

Well done Scott and crew--I KNOW for sure, your dad and grandfather could not be more proud of what you have and continue to do. I love you!
