[Re: Loose Cannon: Reflections on Passover and Easter, Direct Newsline, April 25, 2005]:
I have to confess that I never read this column. I am busy with the responsibilities of a boutique list and insert company, satisfying our customers and reading the business aspects of this newsletter enables me to get the information I need to have a beat on the marketplace in order to best do that…
Thank you so much for publishing this letter… and for the third time.
It is a timely letter inasmuch as a new Pope has been selected and one who grew up in the Nazi era. It is timely for it is the season of Passover, when Jews around the world give thanks for the freedoms and they have been granted by God in the face of the Pharaoh in Egypt in the world long ago and it is a timely letter as we reflect upon the increase of anti Semitism in the world today.
Willem Blom’s behavior makes me proud. He truly demonstrates by his actions that his life is a commitment to his customers. His respect for people and his gratitude for their business is the basis of his life’s work. His insight into how to be a good businessman is not based on reading sales books and going to seminars, it is based on his integrity, his intelligence and his ethics. He made his life a blessing. I am both saddened and moved by his example and I am grateful to you, Richard, that you are keeping him and his deeds alive by retelling Blom’s story.
Thank you, Richard. And wishing you and all others who celebrate Passover, a Zeesun Pesach a tika tevu.

I was in the midst of having perceived crisis 12 of a Monday, and as it did last year and the year before, this column brought some much-needed perspective. Thanks.
