In 1972 I was employed here for a brief period of time. I started my working life as a part-time worker in the weaving department. I had just graduated from high school and like most other people my age wasn't sure what pathway to embark on. I enjoyed being employed here. I was just beginning a new career in textiles and because about 90% of all jobs here were textile related it seemed like the thing to do. There was opportunity for advancement.

A much better career path opened up with a huge textile company and I pursued it. This was a great learning opportunity. read more
