The Power of Relationships

My wife and I always park at PreFlight when we fly from Atlanta.  It is an off-site parking lot with shuttle service to the airport.  It is cheaper than parking at the airport and very convenient.  This trip, the driver mentioned that he remembered me from my trip to Tampa last year for the Imaging USA conference (the same conference from which I just returned).  He remembered my traveling companions (Danielle Bodony and Stephanie Gober) and why we were going to Tampa.  He remembered that we were all photographers.  I thought that was pretty amazing.  He must see hundreds of faces every day and yet he remember me.

When we landed in Atlanta last night, we had the same driver!  It might seem like a little thing, but it was comforting to know with whom we were entrusting our lives.  He was friendly, jovial, and helpful.  As I have said before, I shouldn't be amazed by someone doing there job well, but I am.  Thank you to our driver (whose name I do not know) for being a welcoming face for our return to the South.
