| Let's Have a Cup of Coffee with Wally
A Cup of Coffee with Wally Byam
When I find old pictures, letters, and artifacts I choke up frequently. There are pictures of my Mother, Wally, Stel, Art, Andy and many hundreds of old friends. I thought in this thread you should have a cup of coffee with Wally. You need to know that he and my Mother were two early risers that had to have a hot steaming cup of coffee, first thing in the morning. Wally liked to have orange marmalade on toast or an English muffin. My Mother wanted that perfect sunnyside up egg or a soft-boiled egg and toast.
I think that starting the morning with Wally and a cup of coffee is important. As the day goes on things get hectic. Issues arise that need to be addressed. Today we have the extremes that have always been part of the WBCCI and even Airstream. Wally addressed tough situations straight on. He might grab the bull by the horns and tell you this is how it’s going to be. Well that’s leadership. He might call a meeting and get a consensus and take the discussion as an advisement. Many times Wally had an objective in mind. Could he sell? You bet! If it was the right thing to do everyone followed Wally’s lead.
Yes, let’s have cup of coffee with Wally and start a new day.
Wally was positive. He was a can do man. It was never a half full or half empty glass. It was always full. His path from the time he formed Airstream had many ups, and many downs…but always, always forward! He was brilliant. He always found the way to get the job done.
While you are having your cup of coffee with Wally, address your misgivings, your grievances, and shortcomings the way Wally would. Find a constructive, positive, and successful approach to doing the right thing.
Hey, that was a really good cup of coffee.
See ya on the road!
