Old Company, New Tricks

It seems everyone has had to make changes to their business this year. It's why Bronson Alexander looks forward to the fish fry potluck held in his company's backyard each month.

The frying is overseen by Peanut Allen, a 44-year veteran of Hennessy Construction Services. Allen churns out piles of fresh-fried tilapia and hush puppies, while builders' wives slowly add on with covered dishes of their own as other families arrive.

The dinner event serves an important cause: it maintains the business's identity to its employees.
