In an article today about the director of the US Chamber of Commerce, the New York Times reports:
Mr. Donohue said that his recent notoriety had been challenging, but not as difficult as his early years at the chamber when he was trying to rebuild its membership and finances.
And, no, he has given no thought to stepping down.
"I recently told my wife," he wrote in his e-mail message, "that if you see me lying in a box with flowers all around, that means I’m only thinking about retiring."
As I have an old friend who works at the Chamber, much to my chagrin, I thought: Wouldn't it be fun if we all sent flowers to the Chamber! She would get to enjoy them and he might get the point.
