got this inner-office email today...

As you all might know today marks my 7th year protecting our lifestyle brand. It's a sense of pride in its self, and an opportunity to belong to something highly exclusive, and utterly amazing as the brand. It's been a long journey and I hope the next 7 years are as fabulous and enjoyable as today. I'm overwhelmed with all types of emotion words can't explain the happiness and success the brand has brought into my life. Never thought cleaning the moose 7 years ago would take me places I only dreamt of. I have met most of my best friends here with friendships that will last a life time and I will always remember the brand brought us all together. Its because of you guys that Abercrombie & Fitch is such great place to work and I never want to be anywhere else in the world but right here on Fitch Path living and breathing our free-spirited and independent lifestyle.

Thanks everyone
