It's not as if delusions are anything new.

From 'One Southern Indiana names Texan Michael Dalby as CEO', Business First, Friday, May 26, 2006:

Kerry Stemler, president of New Albany firm KM Stemler General Contractors and chairman of the leadership transition team that is helping to shape One Southern Indiana, is confident that the nationwide search has led to the right candidate.

"I think he will be a consensus builder, a collaborator, a leader," Stemler said. "Michael Dalby can get us where we need to go."

Dalby's track record proves that he has the ability to assess the facts, develop a strategy and ultimately deliver results, Stemler said, adding that those qualities helped him stand out among a field of more than 100 candidates.

Another plus is that he understands the value of working together as a region, Stemler said.
