Recently Ron Mintle our CEO, had to travel to the
South Pacific, a place most people would love to travel…however, Ron ultimately
came into contact with Cyclone (Hurricane) Evan twice as he puddle- jumped islands
visiting customers and making sales calls. At one point, it appeared as though
Ron was actually a Cyclone-chaser! Not only was he in the eye of the cyclone in
Samoa, but then 4 days later he was hit by the same cyclone in Fiji ! The
ground floor of his hotel in Samoa was flooded when a nearby river overflowed,
and then his hotel in Fiji
was totally destroyed. The cyclone that hit Samoa was a Level 3 and the
Level 4 cyclone in Fiji
had winds of 100 mph with gusts to 160 mph! No electricity, water,
phones, or no real food, just SMS texting for intervals when the cellular
system was up. Somehow Ron got home the day before Christmas, and with
all the hub-bub of flights being cancelled and rescheduling, we are happy to
finally have him home at the office, safe and sound. Our good friend Roman
Sotelo from New Millennium created this fun picture for us as a memento of the
event! Thanks Roman!!!
