The Couples of SC<br />
MONTHLY UPDATE: MARCH 2018<br />
As we reflect on all the wonderful business news that Summer Classics had this past month, we cannot<br />
forget what the month of Feburary symbolizes...LOVE! We decided to have a little fun with this months<br />
news letter and feature a few of the couples of Summer Classics.<br />
Schon & Cynthia Duke<br />
Q: How long have you been together?<br />
A: 24 year married and 23 years together<br />
Q: What is it like working together at SC?<br />
A: We really do not see each other during the day… Cynthia is working in the retail store and I am in the<br />
corporate headquarters… It is nice to see her from time to time during the day. I will stop by and say hello,<br />
Q: What is your favorite memory together at SC?<br />
A: Cynthia will travel with me to some of our key markets… She is a really big help to the reps. She greets<br />
and scans badges of all who visit the showroom during that market. The customers love her and so do the<br />
reps because she helps get them with their customers. Another benefit is that she know the Gabby and SC<br />
lines really well… maybe better than I do? Do not tell her that!<br />
Q: What does working together at SC mean to y’alls relationship?<br />
A: Dinner are now a little different… we talk about “rustic sectionals”, products and what is selling. I told<br />
Bew that Summer Classics is now part of my life 24/7! Thanks Bew!<br />
Lindsay McMullen & Sam Ryland<br />
Q: What is y’alls Summer Classics Story?<br />
A: We first met at the 2012 Annual Retail Meeting when Charlotte<br />
hosted. But “Our story” began two years later when Sam and I were two<br />
members of a four person “Dream Team” to flip the San Antonio store in<br />
2014. Little did we know in that week that store would flip US! Sam was<br />
in Raleigh. I was in Nashville. We began dating long distance and within<br />
a year we both followed opportunities at the corporate office. Now two<br />
years later, here we are happy as ever. We get married in October.<br />
Schon & Cynthia Duke<br />
Q: What is it like working together at Summer Classics?<br />
A: It’s great! We start the day together, get to save on gas money, we<br />
always have a lunch date, and it’s nice to decompress together on the<br />
way home after a long day. The one thing we have to be careful about<br />
is work talk. We give ourselves as much “work free” time as possible.<br />
Q: What does working at SC mean to your relationship?<br />
A: SC has had a significant role in our relationship. It has strengthed our<br />
practices to be thankful, grateful, proud and patient. I can see how<br />
working together for SC could be challenging for some couples. Work<br />
is the majority of our days. To have your partner truly understand the<br />
good, bad and the ugly and be able to support you and balance you is<br />
a big win for us at this point in our lives. We make it work and we love it.<br />
Lindsay & Sam<br />
