Dave Kellerman and his crews turned out $20,000$ fans during the month$$a remarkable feat given that the firm$$s manufacturing plant was closed for several days because of storm damage and flooding. Kellerman was especially pleased with the fact that overall financial performance for the period was favorable when compared with the budget. His pleasure, however, was very short$-$lived, as Johnson$$s general manager issued a stern warning that performance must improve, and improve quickly, if Kellerman had any hopes of keeping his job.
