(DEI) as just one person who has lent him advice on the industry. "We all kind of work together. This is an industry that has kind of always been about supporting each other, and it's no more true now than it was 20, 30, 40 years ago," he said. THE FUTURE OF SPECTRO As Josefson continues what could easily be a lifelong career for him, he will also continue to seek out knowledge, advice and information from others. "It's just building my knowledge, tak- ing it one day at a time. The biggest thing is my parents drove this into me when I was young: 'If you can listen to somebody; you can learn everything you have to know.' And you don't always have to be the one that knows it all. You take the knowledge that you're given; you work with it, and you go forward from there." Though his father Thomas has been at the business longer and still serves as VP, Thomas told Josefson upon his promotion that his deci- sions won't be questioned. Josefson recalled, "He goes, 'We're doing this together. If I disagree with you on a deci- sion, I'll let you know my standpoint, and I'll explain why, and I'll give you all the informa- tion you need to make an informed decision. I'll let you know what I think from my side, but if you decide to go in a different direction, as soon as that decision is made, I will not second-guess you.'" Still, Josefson has no plans to make any dramatic shifts any time soon. The company will continue to be strongly based in powers- ports, not selling to any companies on the out- side, not distributing through major auto parts retailers or national chains. "We support dealers, and they support us, Josephson said. He added, "There's a reason we've been in business for 50 years; we've always been a somewhat conservative company. There are some things that I think we can do better, but there are some things that we do great at. I have things I would like to grow, and I have different little pet projects, but the core of the company will pretty much be the way it is." With his family's legacy on the line and a slew of family and non-family co-workers back- ing him, Josefson plans to have the company on track for the long haul. As he put it simply, "For me, it's so much more than a job." PSB SPECTRO CONTINUED FROM PAGE 48 communities and camps are life-changing." The dealership's main focus for the event this year is 19-year-old Ryan Fox, who hopes to attend a skill center after he finishes his senior year in high school. This is the first PWC-oriented Poker Run that Dee's Marine has planned, but owners Al and Karen Dolecki hope to make it an annual event. With the inaugural event, the Doleckis wanted to limit the number of participants at 100. The cost of participation is $100, which includes a light breakfast and dinner. Those who don't ride in the poker run can attend the dinner for $30. "This year we're going to limit it simply because we want to make sure we can do this and do it right for everybody," Karen Dolecki said. The dealership wants to start small and hopes to add numbers in the coming years. "We want something quality and fun, and an event that's going to help people out. We want to make it a win-win situation," she added. So far a lot of interest has been brewing and Dolecki says customers in the area are eager to participate: "We sell a lot of Sea-Doos here. PWC people are almost always looking for an outlet or an event. We have had a lot of people show interest," she said. The event will both begin and end at Brandenburg Park and will include five "card stops" on nearby Lake St. Clair. Since there are no dealerships on the lakefront, the stops will be at popular sandy bays such as Muscamoot Bay and Bouvier Bay, with a stop at Brown's on Harsen's Island for lunch. At each stop, participants will have a chance to collect a card and even buy a card to get a better advantage. At the con- clusion of the run, the dealership will host a dinner, 50/50 prize drawing, a raffle and poker hand payouts for first, second and third place.

Beyond the storefront, the dealership's Blue Santa Toy Run in Williamson County attracts 120 bikes annually. The idea for the run, with assistance from off-duty police officers, got rejected on its first attempt. Now, the bikes show up on distribution day with a parade of motorcycles to drop off the toys, and the kids love it, Littlefield said. The Georgetown Boys and Girls Club has also been the recipient of plenty of love from the dealership. Teresa Littlefield, Steve's wife, was named Volunteer of the Year there in 2014 for her weekly volunteering efforts. PSB CENTRAL TEXAS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 50 PWC CONTINUED FROM PAGE 44
