What is your earliest memory about Geil Enterprises?
When I walked into the office, Steve Geil didn’t have any file cabinets and I was in charge of personnel and client files, accounts payable and receivable and I filed it all in a 2 drawer cabinet. Now look at how the company has grown.

What is the funniest or most interesting thing that happened while at work?
Many years ago, Steve’s brother Jim and I used to work on payroll together and once on payday, we didn’t think we would have enough money to cover payroll and Steve was so hesitant to borrow money from the bank, so I went to the post office to see if there were any payments in the mail. When I got the mail, I went through it there hoping for a check. There was a check for $3,000! And I was so excited to get back to the office with the paycheck, I couldn’t get there fast enough. I then showed it to Steve, he was so happy to see that check, ever since that day we have never been behind.
