When I applied for the job as receptionist for Harker in 1981, I was interviewed by Phyllis Carley, then put in the old conference room to wait to meet Mr. Nichols. Boy was I nervous! We chatted for a few minutes, and he put me completely at ease. I was sent home to wait for what I hoped would be a job offer. I was in the house for about 15 minutes when I got that call. I have worked hand in hand with Howard and Diana, happily dedicated to Harker since then. Howard earned my respect the moment I met him and that respect has grown and grown through the years. He will be missed by us all.
