When Roy started cleaning windows in Salt Lake City over 40 years ago, one of his favorite jobs was a chain of Winchell’s Donuts. He’d get there in the cold, wee morning hours to clean the windows before the morning rush. Back in those days, sometimes the whole family would be there, Mom, Dad (Roy), Christina or Sarah and one baby or another on the way. Mom and Dad (or just Dad), would clean the windows and enjoy some coffee and a donut. Mom always had a French cruller and Dad an apple fritter or buttermilk donut. It felt like the best reward for getting up early to get those windows done. Winchell’s was a weekly account that we were so grateful for back in those early days. Now, we have a lot of regular accounts and we’re grateful for every one of them but it’s nice to look back at where you started and appreciate the little moments that make work memorable.
