Dan Hussey, owner of B & L Flooring America in
Prescott Valley, Ariz., recently offered a lasting tribute to Howard Olansky,
the former senior editor of National Floor Trends’ who died late last year.
Hussey says he was inspired by Olansky’s passion for promoting flooring as a
fashion-forward business. He specifically recalled a presentation the two men
gave at Surfaces 2005. “He was saying things that were close to my
heart, and he helped gel my own convictions on the subject,” Hussey notes.
