Your daily shot of hope and encouragement.
Dave Murphy, president and chief operating officer of Red Wing Shoe Co., got hearty applause when he announced record earnings for 2010 -- $448 million, up 12 percent from 2009 -- at this year’s shareholder meeting in Red Wing, Minn.

It was the 315 employees the company hired in 2010, bringing head count close to 2,200 today.
