Picking up where yesterday's entry left off, I was browsing around the Norfolk Southern's website, and found this speech made by David R. Goode at the kickoff for the O. Winston Link Museum funding campaign.
Mr. Goode is the chairman, president, and CEO of the Norfolk Southern Corporation, which is the parent company for the Norfolk Southern Railway. Mr. Goode's job is to earn money for the shareholders, and since he's held his job since 1994, he must be doing something right.
His speech struck me as rather brief, but then none of the executive speeches I've read that have been given by Norfolk Southern officers have struck me as being long. No one will include in a collection of great oratory, but something nagged at the back of my mind as I read it. I haven't yet put my finger on what exactly was bothering me about it, and it may be nothing.
Anyways. Those of you who like reading speeches made by people, go check it out and see what you think. I have no connection to any party to the events, but I'm glad that the Norfolk Southern Foundation, along with employees of the N&W/NS, have seen fit to donate a pretty hefty chunk of money to the campaign. Hats off to all involved.
