LETTERS: VIP WORKER OFFERS THE HIGHEST PRAISE

To the editor:

I want to bring some insight to VIP Industries. Hillary Schmittzhe and Susan Wallis and all the staff are really good, warmhearted, genuine, down-to-earth people. It bothers me for all these people to be saying these things. I know a few who personally haven't darkened the doors at VIP. They do not know what VIP is all about.

I am going to tell you my side of the story. I have worked at VIP for 30 years. I even met my beloved wife, Barbara, there. We will be married for 16 years this September. I was really sick when I first came to VIP with a lot of mental and hyperactivity problems. I was in and out of the hospital. I could not even think where I would be today if it weren't for VIP, the staff, Hillary Schmittzhe and Susan Wallis. I mean that with all my heart.

I am 46 years old. VIP has done me and my wife a lot of good and also treated us well. We have no complaints whatsoever.
