13 CALF News • December 2018 | January 2019 • www.calfnews.net my friend, Katy Teeter, who was in the hospital. Proud that I’d received a call from such a famous person, I had to tell Katy that the reason I was late getting to the hospital was because Baxter Black had called just as I was leaving the house. Katy’s eyes lit up at the mention of his name.“Oh Jim!” she exclaimed. “Baxter Black is my favorite speaker!” After an awkward silence she continued,“Next to you, of course!” Ironically, I got a call from Betty Jo Gigot a few hours after my wife’s 2 a.m. wake-up call. Betty Jo told me the theme for the next issue was “people, people, people.” And that’s what pro- vided the inspiration for this column. I wrote about my memo- ries of people as I read the last issue. I was putting the finishing touches on my column when I got a call from Jim Norwood, who provided the inspiration for the ending. Twenty-one years ago, Jim told me that I should write for CALF News because it was the People Magazine of the beef industry. And that’s what makes CALF News such a great magazine. Because the most interesting thing about the beef industry is the people.  E-mail comments to jim@purposeunlimited.com ©Kemin Industries, Inc.and itsgroupofcompanies2018.All rights reserved. ® TM TrademarksofKemin Industries, Inc.U.S.A.
