20171008-SUN: Why was it written?
In 1981 I quit my job as a
shipper as Blaisdell (Shim & Stamping) Manufacturing because they would not
give me a raise to $5.00/hour. Aside –
before I was assigned to shipping I was an expediter truck driver For Blaisdell. I found an ad in the newspaper for Bell &
Howell. I met with Wally Moon. He asked: Why did you quit your last job? I said because they would not give me $5.00
per hour. Mr. Moon said I will give you
that. To make it short, over the course
of a year or so I had upgraded their material management processes. I was getting prepared to go back to school
at UC Davis. I wanted my processes to stick. So I wrote the report. One day I may go more into detail of what a
wonderful experience working for Bell & Howell is. I also had a gopher role and eventually had
relationships with: The onsite VP, the controller’s office, engineering,
marketing and sales, training, production manager and team, purchasing,
shipping, and obviously the front office material management team. My going away party was the bomb. Both I and Wally were retired on the same
day. Our party was in the board
room. The people I knew pooled their money
and gifted me a high end Samsonite Brief Case :o)
FYI
“WordStar is a word processor application that had a
dominant market share during the early- to mid-1980s. It was published by
MicroPro International, and written for the CP/M operating system but later
ported to MS-DOS.”
