UFS Man Of The Year

UFS hires anywhere from 75 to 80 employees. One of our senior employees, in fact our oldest, is David Kott, who works in the furniture store. He greets customers and sells. David has a very colorful history. He was a career military officer and after retirement he joined the ranks of furniture sales. Well, David's military rank is a story in and of itself. He's the only person I ever heard of who was a private for 9 years. It seems every time he was up for a promotion he'd land in the brig (that's the military jail). Seems our David was somewhat of a party animal. The rest of the details you'll have to get from David. He is very successful at UFS and when you ask him his secret he states emphatically, "I love people". David is definitely a character. We went out to dinner with David and his lovely wife, Rosemary. When the waitress came to take our order, David asked her if he ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and cancelled the meatballs, would he get a discount. No discounts for David.
