The following was prepared for inclusion in their 100 year centennial celebration in 2020.
Songs by Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder prompted me to calculate how long it would take to get to heaven on a space ship.
Enjoy and live in the moment!
Oh Lawrence’s Veteran Supply stick shift van
How grown up I felt,
Delivering pizza supplies and Solo cups and pizza sauce
To places all over the city.
Our last stop Gino’s in Roseland
Was the best – always a taste before departure.
And thanks to Cousin Lawrence for teaching me to drive.
Nice comments on mindfulness – a great complement to the meditation practice I am trying to develop. The 8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program done by Chris Chroniak (patterned after Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Full Catastrophe Living program of the stress reduction clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center) was well worth the investment of time and energy.
I forgot to include my experience at the University of Chicago receiving my MBA in marketing management back in 1975 – the 190 MBA Program was offered in evenings in a building on Delaware across from the Hancock Center. I began the program just after our second daughter was born and completed the grueling regimen in just under six years. Campbell Soup offered partial tuition reimbursement, and it seemed the right thing to do to help in future career moves. As it turned out, I graduated while in the employ of UCC and chose to stick around as long as my career was advancing – this was definitely the case.
Some memories of the MBA Program:
I had many, many interesting experiences at various hotels/motels throughout my working career at UCC and Reimelt.
One of the most memorable was an overnight stay at a small town in Oklahoma (off the beaten path to say the least). I guess I was too stubborn to stay at a larger city location with better hotel choices, but I wanted an early start to my visit at the plant site in the morning so thus my choice near the plant.
The results are self-explanatory – see the attached PDF file.
Enjoy!
Here are two of my favorite recipes:
#1 Pesto With Ricotta (just made some with my home grown basil – the ricotta adds a creamy texture)
#2 Julia Child’s Tomato Sauce (fresh tomatoes and herbs from the deck garden make it special)
Don’t get me wrong, although my last post commented on work not being the most important thing in your life, your work is an important element – especially in retrospect. I prepared the attached summary to remind myself of my good fortune – the people I have worked with added so much meaning to my life.
