FINAL THOUGHTS As I continue to research and to tell the story of the amazing history of our industry and the PSAI, I constantly learn inter- esting facts and information myself. As a result of my long friendship with the Gump Family, however, I am extremely familiar with their family core values and how each generation continues to live up to these noble standards. Now I hope that because of this piece, more people are aware of these philos- ophies and might possibly incorporate these thoughts and ideas into their companies as well as into their personal lives. REQUESTS: As this series of articles continues in our 50th Anniversary Year as well as the update of "PSAI Through the Decades" is composed, I would appreciate any articles, stories, remembrances, or any other information that you could share to assist in the preservations and the publication of the amazing history of our industry and our PSAI would be greatly appreciated. My contact information is: wjwigley@bellsouth.net and cell phone 770-206-0794. THANK YOU! Personal Note and Thank You Thank you so much to my longtime, dear friend Nancy Gump for her support and assistance with this important part of our PSAI History. Our industry and our Association owe much to this wonderful family. The Gump Award statuette
