The 60's ended and we looked forward to another decade of interesting events in our lives. The family was well and the job was going extremely well. One of our major products at the time in the Finishing Dept was the packaging of Colgate Handi-wipes. This product would become a household word nation wide. The product was made in our production operation and slit to 14 inch widths. We took the slits then and folded and cut the fabric into 14 by 24 inch towels and packaged. In 70 my boss and I went to the packaging show in NYC to gain ideas on packaging. We went to the Tonight Show when Johnny Carson was emceeing it. That night Johnny was not there and Flip Wilson was hosting it.
It was also in 1970 that i became disgruntled with our school system. I have already discussed most of this in a previous post and my running for a position on the County School board. I had discussed this option with our Plant Manager and he encouraged me to run. Being a Johnson and Johnson Co. all employees were encouraged to be active in civic affairs. Needless to say again but i lost the election and afterwards would realize it was a blessing in disguise.
I am debating at this time if i will continue on this theme since I had previously told my role in the Central Arkansas Christain School beginning. If i should continue i will only highlight some of the beginning since i had previously deleted all that i had written.
There is so much to tell about my experiences and the ones along the way who have inspired me to continually keep reaching out. Church, Family and Job have truly been the motivating factor in my life. I hope that this in some way has been interesting enough that you didn't get bored.
