David Packard is not responsible for the things his company did after he died. Thanks for ruining the spirit of this post.
Sure he is. He setup an amoral money making machine and it is destroying the American culture.
Pre-1996 abortion funding by the David & Lucille Packard Foundation:
...introduce emergency contraception in Tanzania, Planned Parenthood, Cross-Border Family Planning Program; Latinos; Mexico

Bill and Dave ran a people oriented company which emphasized people development to their maximum potential.
Everyone had profit sharing twice a year. One year it was almost 12%.
You were a fool if you didn't participate in the stock purchase plan (50% match then) and that was the secret of it's stock going up in bad times.
After Bill and Dave retired, a Business Major nearly ran the company into the ground and I think it was Bill that had to come back in and cut out the unprofitable parts, bringing the company back to profitability.
