Just read in the @BusinessRecord PM Daily that @AtlanticCoke has been the leading @CocaCola bottler for many, many months. I believe that is pretty standard over the years for this iconic Iowa company- congratulations all around!

Good afternoon. I am feeling both sad and lost today. The same goes for the rest of our family. Last night, my brother Tom Powers died at the age of 77. He has been having health challenges the past few years. He was a semi truck operator and a Vietnam veteran...and 1967 graduate of Webster City High School. I was privileged to have him as a brother for 67 of these years. I was at his birthday party and Easter celebration at his home recently. I don't know when the funeral mass will be held for him but I know our family and friends will remember Tom. A great relationship. Thank you...enjoy the rest of your day everyone.
