on our summer family vacation last month, we traveled through the east coast and i can’t recall a time when we crossed over more bridges. some bridges were old, some were brand new, some low and some very high. and with each crossing, my wife would sink deeper into the passenger seat with eyes closed while our kids pointed out some of the sights only seen at higher elevations thanks to the bridge. too bad pam didn’t get a chance to see those sights.i’m not sure, but my wife might have gephyrophobia, the fear of crossing bridges.

but only about 1 in 4 are doing anything about it.

we’re honored.
rick telberg, president and ceo, 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research, has been named one of “the top 100 most influential people” in the profession by accounting today.
accounting today writes:
“at one time, telberg was ineligible for the top 100 people list — because he created it. but he’s not here because of anything he did at accounting today over a decade ago. he’s here because since then he’s made 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 a leading source of information for — and about — the practitioners who make up the vast majority of the accounting profession.”
it’s a distinct privilege to be in such good company.
thank you,
