Greetings HHSE Friends and Followers - I was honored to have been asked to speak at the Memorial Service this morning for my former business partner and HHSE President, Don Frederick Shefte. I talked about his 14+ years at HHSE and his strong commitment to business ethics that influenced so many of our corporate activities and direction. Several “locally-based” HHSE shareholders were present today, and thanked me afterwards for this heartfelt tribute.
In other Fred Shefte related news, we decided to film a scene this week in his office workspace in Fayetteville - the HHSE Headquarters (since Sept. 2018) at 355 N. College. There was an opportunity to add on a dramatic scene for the WILDFIRE movie - and shooting with an actress in Fred’s long held work space felt like a bit of an homage to his memory.
While 90% of the WILDFIRE edit assembly is completed, we decided that a key sequence of the car crash would be stronger and more dramatic to SHOW the audience, instead of just talking about it. Having our actress “get the dreaded call” while inside of the HHSE offices felt like something that Fred Shefte would have endorsed!
Rest In Peace and Power, dear friend. - ERIC PARKINSON
