Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 3997488, member: 364"] ... Graduate from UCONN in 1979 then after a summer of hitchhiking europe with UConn buddies; I got hired by GE in their FMP program. Realized early on, I am not going to be a cost accounting/auditing star. Peers went onto CEO Honeywell + CEO Pebble Beach (*still there today) ... but I was the Organizer of the FMP softball team. a dozen guys from all over the US landed in Lynn, Massachusetts plant making military aircraft engines of 24,000 employees. One team of newly grad college kids against ... Union guys. When the UNION relations often were harsh and troubling. Spikes were worn We did well. We had shirts sponsored by a local strip club in Everett (you know Tim ... that was probably not a shrewd longterm move). My greatest contribution? Got Bob ... (I don't remember his name). Bob was UCONN's shortstop my senior year and he was getting a MBA from BU. His girlfriend Sue (then wife) was a dear friend of mine. I did not know Bob that well. We would sweat his appearance every game coming to Lynn from Comm Ave. We had an incredible shortstop. Lots of long home runs. And ... yes ... that is what I am good at. Plucking one guy to fill in.
