There is a lot of excitement around our house - school starts this week! The start of a new school year is always a time of excitement and anticipation, but is also it a time to review and remember a few aspects of safety, particularly for our youngsters. Unfortunately, at our law firm we have seen too many times when an accident, injury, or some other harm dampens the year before it really gets started.
The first thing that we will all notice is that traffic in general is heavier. That means we need to remind ourselves to be sure to stay alert and practice paying attention to our best driving skills. Additionally, it is a good time to remind ourselves to be courteous and respectful to other drivers. Good Manners go a long way toward being safe!

There's No Shortcut to Hard Work
Hard work usually ends up with positive results, and, as we all know, there is rarely a shortcut to hard work. The exciting thing about hard work is how good and rewarding it always feels when the results are reached and the benefits gained.
This past weekend Doug Nauman and I went on a little bicycle ride that included a long climb up to about 3000 feet on the Blue Ridge Parkway. There was no easy way up. Above is a photo we took of ourselves using t ...

Teamwork In some of the reading I did this past week I came across an article defining Teamwork as a group working together in a way that the collective value of individuals’ contributions is greater than the total of each individual’s contribution. You may need to read that again and pay particular attention to where the apostrophe falls. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the source - fortunately, I do remember the message. This message is very consistent with our firm philosophy. Mike Lewis is fond of saying “none of us is as smart as all of us.” Each individual is important to us, and likewise each individual makes us all better.

Commitment!
Commitment is a timeless virtue and is certainly valued by us at Lewis & Daggett. It seems that in the hustle bustle and ever changing modern society that commitment isn’t what it used to be. Perhaps that is why we tend to value it so much when we see it.
We have discussed before how proud we are of our Lewis and Daggett team. We recently reflected on all of our folks who have been with us for more than 10 years - wow! On top of that, we just had two long term folks celebrate 17 and 18 years with us. Pictured below are Ann Clifton (18 years) and Ken Haynes (17 years):

Encourage Child Safety
Please help us keep our children safe. I was running today at lunch and came across three kids playing in the street - one riding a bike, one on a skateboard, and one on rollerblades. I’d say they were 10 - 12 years old or so. None of the three had helmets or any other visible safety attire, and they were in the street!
Here is a photo of a little girl with proper safety equipment. Maybe just add sunglasses to protect the eyes and she is set! ...
