SPECIAL DELIVERY

Recent letters from the world of Roots

ANDY WOWS THEM IN QUEBEC
In Issue 41 of The Source, you reported on Andy McCurbin and his road show that is bringing his passion for Roots leather goods and his expert knowledge on the subject to stores across the country.
I just want to mention how impressed I was by his recent seminar at Roots Centreville in Montreal. I loved it. It was the first time someone has been able to keep my attention at a conference. He has a rare talent. It would be great if Andy could work
in our store with our staff for a day. It would add to their motivation.

Co-Manager, Mont Tremblant store, Quebec


STAYING POWER IN ACTION
In recent issues of The Source, you’ve invited staff to write in to say how long they’ve been at Roots. I have been with the Roots store in Aspen since December 1995. I began as Assistant Manager and then became Manager in April 1997. So it’s now been more than 10 years and I have sincerely enjoyed my time with this exciting company.
Aspen being an international ski town, the most interesting aspect of my job has always been the people I’ve worked with from all over the world. I have loved taking care of Don and Michael’s "Aspen Roots" in this beautiful never-never land.
