EMP-35
OK EMP-35, this is the news I
received ... I hope
no news is good news!
Bob Strickland writes from Florida with the news that his life has changed
again. He moved to Tampa, Fla., where he accepted a position
with WellCare Inc., a $1 billion company with business
in New York and Connecticut, as well as Florida. WellCare
is an HMO with government products (e.g. Medicaid, Medicare,
CHIPS). Bob currently is interim senior vice president
of operations, and vice president of business process improvement.
Bob hopes all the members of EMP-35 are well.
Greg Brown writes
that time is moving at hyper-speed for him! He just completed
a successful three-year assignment as the general manager
of one of his company’s (Kroger) largest manufacturing
facilities. Now he’s leading a confidential project,
and if he told us ... well, you know the rest of the saying.
Aside from the secret project, he is the general manager
of the grocery division, which, despite the title, remains
a predominantly manufacturing-oriented assignment. The
company is projected to exceed the $1 billion-dollar mark
in sales again this year, even with the ongoing strikes
out West. Greg hopes his note finds everyone well.
Nick
Cray tells us that he
always enjoys reading the latest updates from the EMP-35 group.
Nick has relocated to Wisconsin, where he began a new job
in Janesville in January. He is vice president of operations
for Rath Manufacturing Co., a manufacturer of stainless, duplex
and nickel alloy tubing and pipe for use in food, dairy, pharmaceutical,
and process industries. The family is very excited about this
new opportunity, although they are sad to leave the Chicago
area, and will be relocating to the Madison area by summer.
They vow to wear their Cubs and NU gear proudly in the new
neighborhood, and expect to return regularly to visit family
and friends. Nick asks us to wish his family good luck! We
send our best wishes with them!
Curtis Miller, Marybeth Gerrity and Tom Fitzsimons all send their best
wishes, but tell us that nothing is new with them! |
