I found a few old photos of some "Boss's" both past / present and some notable men in our industry. Do you recognize them all.\

I have gotten called so many names as I have aged I can't remember them all. Honey, Mr., Sir, Hey Mister, Old fart, Daddy. etc. smile

Sometimes us more "Stately" appearing "Gentleman" are call some unique names,, Ive been called Governor, Sarge, Boss, Sir, Swami Chief, Pops buy those I dont know,, often more of a sign of respect .

I'm cool with being called Boss by anyone. I am skeptical about being called Hoss sometimes. Depends on my mood at the time.
I tend to 'dish it out' on a regular basis, so I also need to be willing to take it.
