Bill Tighe's Internal Leakage ( Summer Luncheon 2010)
Hello former, recovering, HS Field Reps, in house Reps, Support & Marketing Types and other roustabouts from the Propeller, Controls & Electron world of H. Milton Standard.
cc: Those precious few still working at the Toy Factoory.
Welcome to the third edition of the now yearly June Internal Leakage and Elusive Electron Yellow Rag Sheet.
Tuesday last, June 29th, 2010AD, the Usual Suspects gathered, en masse, at the Skyline for a magnificent luncheon to celebrate the good times while employed at H. Milton Standard, the Prop Shop, the Toy Factory, and to regale each other with great fictional tales of derringdo. Supporting the Field Service, Product Support and Spare Parts efforts were; Leon Bailey, John Brock, Vince Costello, Arlene & Frank Croce, Barbara & Charlie Dittman, Werner Glatz, Helen Kessler, Errol Matzzke, Barry Newton, Bill Tighe, John Vesce & Gerry Wadsworth. Among the 126 or so participants, from the Marketing, Engineering and Management types were; Rocky Angerami, Ron Baer, Jay Bedrick, Cos Bosco, Stan Cohen, Len Cotnoir, George Drakeley, Ted Flanders, Ed Fox, Dick Gamble, Dave Henderson, Paul Hoar, Russ Hubley, Eileen Longhi, Bill Percival, George Randall, Don Rose, Al Ryan, Dale Smith, John Smith, Bob Sutmiller, Paul Thibert, Joan Trapanese, Lou Urban, Ben Wennberg, Bob Wilson & Frank Zuliani. And many others too numerous to mention ( whose names I may have forgotten ).
Among the Notables missing were; Chet Heth - he was out working on some Lufthansa Lockheed L1649 Connie Propellers. Commander Al Reed & Walter L Oakes and Ed Trares from Georgia. (Editor/Webmeister's comment: Hey Tighe - you forgot to include the FEN who sizes photos and copies all this nonsense for you on the web site...plus about 100 more on the mailing list...)
The guest spreaker was the Prez of the 360 Credit Union, his staff were also present and gave us each a neat pen. Enjoying their yearly lunch get together were Carole Matzke & Lise Tighe in the SkylineTavern.
Next gathering of the HS Ron Baer Run luncheon will be Friday December 7, 2010, at the Skyline, same time, same station, FAFOP will be sending out details in the fall. Corn You Say!! No Corn - only some tribulations of a few intrepids; Rosco Boisco still in Riverton, CT. Brock still tinkering with old cars. Newt still pulling and eating Lobsters. Chickweed still actively chasing Prop Blade Decals. Jimy Costello now in Texas raising Chickens. Rob Mueller raising Hell in Austalia and playing with vans, trucks and Motorcyles. Kessler, the Polka lady, still dancing. Cucchi & Jolie still in Savannah. Charlie the Tuna still enjoying the Northwest. Saipan Kid still in Manchester. Sam & Barb out west in the sunshine. Anybody missed or inadvertently overlooked, we are excused, since sometimes the memory fades a bit.
Newest inducted member of the Great Prop Shop in the Sky: Paul Marion, February, 2010 and Don Nowak, April, 2010. May they rest in peace. We hope this epistle finds you all in fine fettered condition with good health and good spirit. Peace be upon you, my good men and ladies.
