Mike Scott Quotations

On that day on 9-11-2001, there was a lot of folks that were in need. Folks stepped up to the plate and some people came up short. So we got together today to remember those folks.

He was 12 years old when he first started helping us out. We had a whole lot of business and we were busy on Saturdays and Sundays. When he helped us out making the food, he did as well as a seasoned cook. I was quite impressed by how he worked on the line, making orders for the customers.

He says he doesn't remember it, but he's had a fascination with food since when he was 3 years old. He's always wanted to cook and he has always helped us around the kitchen. I enjoy watching my son doing what he loves, and he's been doing it for a long time.

We're trying to break the ice here and hoping they'll want to sit down and meet with us.

I've been there several times and helped him cook. It's quite unique. He looks at what he's doing as just another stepping stone of learning. He wants to learn from the best, and his satisfaction is that people enjoy what he makes. He's my son and he's good at what he does.

The president is constantly talking about how tough he is on terrorism, yet he's willing to outsource one of our most vulnerable areas, the ports, to a country with known ties to terrorism.

As cable and satellite operators continue to introduce more complex products and services, a need has emerged for solutions that can help them manage the complexity, from both services and customer relationship standpoints.
