I remember Mr. Ryon as my first employer, although he preferred to be called, Mort. He and Kathy were the kindest and most considerate people I ever worked for. I was a high school student earning money to buy my first car. I was at a formative age, back 55 years ago, but the elegant words of encouragement and guidance from my mentor Mort Ryon, helped to set my course on a life of fulfillment and happiness.
Thank You Mort! You are not forgotten.
