Day one in Sun Valley
Yesterday I arrived at the Holiday Inn in St. Cloud by 7:15 to catch a ride to the airport with Executive Express. On the ride down I visited with a woman who used to live in Pierz, neighbor to John Stumpf, the soon to be CEO of Wells Fargo. She told me a story about making a mistake at her wedding. She was so nervous that she tried to get the wedding band on her husbands right hand instead of his left hand and the ring was so tight that it took the best man 20 minutes to get it off at the recepetion.
Her husband John was a farmer, so after snagging his wedding ring a couple of times on equipment, he placed in a dresser drawer.
Forty years later, she surprised her husband with a party in Little Falls. She was able to get into her wedding dress and she wisely had made the ring one size larger. She placed the ring on the correct finger and sold the farm and moved to Arizona.
It is a beautiful morning in Sun Valley. I look forward to meeting some new folks.
