Dale Lister is ( don't like to use was). a Man's Man. I had the chance to travel with Dale over the years and while I have been in sales for a long time, this man is my Idol. His customers were loyal because Dale is. He is honest and truthful. I wish I could remember all of the Dalisms. "That Dog won't hunt" to name a few. When his company gave him that new cell phone and he tried to push the buttons with those Big old Paws I laughed until I cried.
