From Learning From Leaders: Jeff Householder · · American Gas Association
“One of the best days that I've had in my long career was helping to clean up a hurricane storm in North Florida. Found a lady with a couple of kids. One of them was special needs. She was in a mess. House was heavily damaged. So we scrambled around and got her a propane grill and a gas fire generator and diapers for the children and all the other things. And it's that kind of effort that really makes you understand what this business is all about.”
