Dear Steve:

       I wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much I, and the entire Utz family, appreciates the extraordinary efforts you and your team went through to provide us with potatoes this Spring. Jack and Jim gave me first-hand reports on the rain and the flooding it caused in your fields. I think it's important to stop and say thanks to people who are integral to our business success. Yes, it's a business but I'd like to think it's a little bit more than just that It's the people you do business with and who you can count on in tough situations...personal relationships that in the end bring satisfaction to the job.

       So, Thank You! Your efforts did not go unnoticed here in Hanover.
