Carolyn, The Buonanno Family Glue Guy

In every successful team there is the glue guy, the person who brings it all together; the unsung hero. This is the person who does the little things right. The glue guy is loved by the fans and adored by teammates because of their unselfishness and quiet heroics. On this year 40th birthday I nominate Carolyn as the Buonanno family glue guy. You make it click. You do a thousand little things that make our lives better, whether it’s a timely e-mail, an open invitation to vent (when you have hundreds of things going on in your own life) or a smart ass remark in a tense moment, you make it happen. Glue guys make the world go ‘round. But just because you’re turning 40 doesn’t mean you can slow down because who knows what would happen if you stopped. With that I hope you celebrate and supercharge yourself for the next 40 years of glue guy stardom!
Love,

Your Favorite Outlaw, Sean
