This Thanksgiving

For today, Thanksgiving, I am putting aside thoughts of new media.  It was a difficult time this week at EarthLink.  Our CEO, Garry Betty, was diagnosed with cancer on Monday.  My thoughts are with him, his wife and family.  Garry is a fierce competitor, and if anyone can beat this disease, he can.

So as we count our blessings this Thanksgiving, my advice is to hug your friends tightly and your family even tighter.  Nothing else really matters. 

Let me get back to you.

3 - Dan,

My condolences to you, Mr. Betty's family and the entire Earthlink community on the loss of your CEO. Obviously, this is an emotional and difficult time, made doubly-so by you needing to deal with this professionally and personally.

I hope at some appropriate time in the future, you might share your experience and dealing with this tragedy and balancing the professional and personal.

With Sincerest Condolences,
Bill Getch (Comment this)
