Cleveland Branch Falls Behind
Boston
The excitement of the baseball championship was
at its peak in October with the Boston Red Sox
playing the Cleveland Indians in the best of seven
games series for American League Championship
with the winner advancing to the World Series.
Our Boston and Cleveland offices had to be part
of this by making a small but friendly wager on the
outcome.
After the first four games, it did not look good for
Boston … the Red Sox were behind 3 games to
1. The Boston branch was not about to give up
hope, but was concerned as to how they would
look in “Tribe Time” T-shirts. Coming from a city
of fighters, Boston clawed their way back to win
the series by taking the last three games and later
went on to win the World Series by defeating the
Colorado Rockies!
The Cleveland Team looks fantastic in their Red
Sox shirts, however it does appear that one
member of the team had it backwards.
The only regret left for the Boston Branch was not
having an office in Denver.

The bet was for the branch whose team lost, to
buy dinner for the winning team’s branch and
wear the Championship T-shirts of the winning
team and have their photos taken for inclusion in
the newsletter.
The Big Camp Out In Chicago
There will be no shortage of camper trailers in
Australia this holiday season thanks to the efforts
of our Chicago team. During the month of
August, the parking lot at our warehouse looked
more like a camper trailer dealership than it did a
container freight station. Instead, it was actually
the staging / prep area for the more than 75
camping trailers we were contracted to ship to
Australia.
