''To Whom It May Concern: Since my retirement from West Texas Opportunities, Inc. (WTO,I) in 2009, the new WTO,I CEO has allowed me to assist the agency with their annual reports. We became acquainted with Chris Sizemore through our relationship with Atmos Energy. WTO,I was very fortunate to have a great working relationship with Atmos Energy and in 2008, we were seeking to improve our locally-produced annual report. The Atmos Energy Manager of Customer Advocacy, Dan Alderson, put us in contact with Chris Sizemore at Empire Design and Development to explore new ideas for producing our reports. Dan highly recommended Chris and his company for their design skills, dependability and overall product excellence. WTO,I recently received their 2017 report and I believe it is the best one to date. It really does seem to improve every year, thanks to the creative skills of Chris and his staff. This report is distributed to State and Federal agencies, County Judges, City Managers and non-profit agencies such as WTO,I. I highly recommend Chris and his staff at Empire Design and Development! Thank you for allowing me to “pay it forward” as Dan Alderson and Atmos Energy have done for WTO,I.''
