Thanks for ruining the spirit of this post.

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.

I could be wrong, but wasn’t it Carly Fiorina (the same Carly running McCain’s campaign) that ran HP into the ground?
