No doubt as this tender picture underscores these lovely children of Mr. & Mrs. Tim Strauss, can make us all feel better for this time of year.
     Tim is CEO of Amerijet International, and as it turns out “is a caring guy who will share lessons learned from his vast experience, keen insight, and visions as Airforwarders Association conducts our big annual AirCargo Conference in New Orleans, beginning January 17,” promises Brandon Fried President of AfA.
     The beautiful Crescent City is one of the outstanding experiences of a lifetime.
     Great venue & meeting; great people and food and music that is simply sublime!
     “We are incredibly excited about our conference keynote speaker, Tim Strauss, who will share lessons learned from his vast experience, keen insight, and visions of the future,” Brandon Fried President of AfA said.
     “We predict that the current frenetic business pace will continue throughout 2022 and into the beginning of 2023. As a result, air and sea capacity will be challenging, as will congested maritime ports and major gateway airports. In addition, of course, we remain concerned about the shortage of truck drivers and look forward to working with the White House and government agencies in addressing these challenges throughout the upcoming year.”
     “We are on the road again and are resuming our active in-person outreach schedule with a recent visit to share our perspective at a conference in Newport, RI, land also visited with an airport ground handling company on Monday in Miami. We plan more visits throughout 2022 and look forward to seeing our members throughout the country.”
     And laying his finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod:
     Up the chimney he rose!
     “Stay well and have a Merry Christmas!”
