Fries has never purchased an ad in 20 years. Fries
said that since her business has opened, she has
maintained her perspective that the client always
comes first.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of her busi
ness, Fries is donating $20,000 to 17 local chari
ties and giving away an Italian sports car.
“It is just our way of giving back in honor of
the community,” Fries said.
For the second year in a row, AES Employer
Services was awarded first place. Between 2001
and 2003, sales increased 239 percent. AES was
also named the fastest growing business in Brazos
Valley last year.
The final award was the Anco Insurance
Lifetime Achievement Award presented to James
Deatherage for Producers Cooperative Association.
Producers Co-Op has been a successful business in
the Brazos Valley for the past 61 years. Revenues for
the single location business have exceeded $36 million
in 2004. Producers Co-Op was formed in 1943 by 17
farmers who sold feed. Today, it is recognized as one
of the most efficient and profitable agricultural supply
cooperatives in the nation, Fazzino said.
“Our success has been tied to the hard listed
vision of a few and the hard work of many,”
Deatherage said.
Anco Insurance also made a $500 contribution
to the Chamber of Commerce in the name of
Producer's Co-Op.
“We are just trying to spotlight successful
small businesses,” Fazzino said. “When business
is at it’s best, the community is at its best."

beside him at every step. When
his flag-draped casket reached the
landing of the Capitol, she
reached out and touched it. She
gazed at it, as she had been known
so long for gazing at him in life.
In the Rotunda, she
approached the casket again and
lingered, patting and stroking
the top, finally turning away.
Members of Congress and other
dignitaries in the room put their
hands on their hearts as
Reagan's body passed by.
Reagan’s body was flown from
California to close the first chapter
in a slowly unfolding week of
remembrance. In California, more
than 100,000 people had paid
respects to Reagan in his presiden

White House. Following a long
tradition, rarely seen, the body
of the former president, who
was an avid horseman, was car
ried on a black caisson drawn by
six horses. The artillery carriage
was built in 1918 to carry provi
sions and ammunition.
Behind that trailed Sgt. York,
the horse with an empty saddle
and boots reversed in the stirrups
to symbolize a warrior who will
ride no more and looks back a
final time on his troops. Sgt. York
stepped lively, tossing his head
and appearing a bit spooked on
occasion.Overhead — only
1,000 feet overhead — 21 fighter
jets screamed by in four forma
tions, a wingman breaking away
and rocketing upward to signify
the loss of a comrade.
By early evening, 100 people
on the National Mall had been
treated for heat-related illnesses,
said Alan Etter, speaking for the
D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical
Services Department. U.S. Capitol
Police trucked in about 150,000 of
bottles of water and turned on
large fans for people waiting in
line to view Reagan’s casket in the
Capital Rotunda.

of Reagan’s lying in state. Senate
President Pro Tern Ted Stevens. R-
Alaska, noted a tradition dating to
1824 of paying final tribute to
public servants in the Rotunda.
“President Abraham Lincoln
was the first president to lie in
state under this Capitol dome."
he said. “In the coming days,
thousands will come to these
hallowed halls to say goodbye to
another son of Illinois who. like
Lincoln, appealed to our best
hopes, not our worst fears.”
To Carol Williams of
Chesterfield, Va., all the fanfare
was for a common man.
“They didn’t live in Camelot,
they lived in reality with the rest
