So what is it like to turn 25? I was thinking about this the other day as we approached my company's 25th birth date and thought back to when I turned 25. I was still pretty young. It was 1978 and I was two years out of Harvard, four years married, but still two years away from the joy of our first baby. We had a two bedroom condo in Westchester and I commuted by train to Manhattan everyday. I worked with some very interesting (some would say historic) characters in the CBS Network sales department, and I was just starting work on my first computer system. Life wasn't too complicated and everything still seemed possible.

While I am older today, I like to think that StorerTV is much like I was back then – looking to the future and seeing real possibilities. We have been through the struggle of our baby years, learning the basics and avoiding the near fatal events that many young companies fall victim to. We reinvented ourselves as we approached our teenage years, thinking how great we were, when the reality was, we still had much to learn. And as we graduated into the real world of sophisticated software systems, we were constantly reminded of how much more we could achieve. We should all be very proud of the success we've enjoyed this far. Most startups, particularly in our field of broadcast software systems, have not been able to come close to celebrating a silver anniversary!

StorerTV has grown steadily over a quarter of a century. We have hired great talent and pride ourselves on delivering the best products and expert service to our clients around the world. We are investing into the company's operations and are strategically branching out into new markets.

The next 25 years hold amazing opportunities for StorerTV and the continued maturity of our people, products and processes. I look forward to sharing this with all of you, and I thank you for helping StorerTV reach this very historic milestone.
