20 years ago….on September 29, 2003, Drake Eye Center first opened for business. I can’t express enough how honored I am to own and operate a business in the same town in which I grew up. I am extremely appreciative of the support that I have been given by the people of Hartselle and ALL the neighboring communities. That appreciation is the driving force behind why I make a conscious effort to give back, particularly to the schools. While I love my Hartselle Tigers the most, I also proudly support the Hawks, Blue Devils, Patriots, Bulldogs, Eagles, Red Raiders, and Black Bears (sorry, Bearcats). The people of Morgan County have supported me these past 20 years, so I want nothing more than to see these schools succeed.
I must also take a moment to thank my wonderful staff. Although we have had some staff changes over the years, I have always been blessed to have great ladies that work tirelessly to ensure that our patients are cared for and that our office runs smoothly (most days). Lastly, of course, my most recent edition, Dr Lindsey Guyse has been such a blessing, as I can now slow down a little and take some time off. She has been well-received by our community and will be a tremendous asset to Drake Eye Center, long after I retire.
Thanks so much for your continued support, as we strive to provide the highest quality eye care and eyewear to all our patients. Please enjoy (& have a nice laugh at) the attached newspaper ad from 20 YEARS AGO. I am not exactly sure who thought that picture was going to drum up business, but it was, for some reason, approved by me before it went to print. Nice pants.
