Happy Founders Day

[gman]

98 years and counting.

While we all grumble about our job, and often rightfully so, We owe a very good living to Jim Casey and company for starting with virtually nothing and creating one of the strongest companies in the world. Much of it thanks to those of us on this web site.

Congratulations to all of you for working so hard to make us the best.

(But I can't wait to retire!)

And now I'm on my way out the door to Atlanta. Maybe I'll see if I can find the National H.Q. Probably behind a barb wire fence and 12 foot walls.

Maybe I should run down to my old hub and cop a burger.

Was it founder's day today? No mention of it in my building.

 

[nevadapaul]

The 28th if I remember correctly.

 

[fredly00]

[xracer]

wow this sucks I am on vacation, missed all of the festivities...

 

[laborer]

Calender shows the 28th, so far no mention of it at our building...

I truly hope this thread does not run into more gripes about UPS. Anniversary dates of the start of such a company as this one deserves some reflections from all of us. We work (or worked) here for years and it should be a source of pride that our efforts have made UPS what it is today.
Sunday will be the actual date. Hope you will spend a moment between now and then and think of Jim Casey and all the other people who made us a world leader in the transportation business.

Have a good day...every day

Founders day 2007: 100 years of service: 1 year till the worst strike in UPS history; The date the re-branding (the new logo with the swish) MUST be completed by as told to us at the unvailing. What a great company.

Founder's Day activities first thing Monday morning.

I miss the trinkets we used to get....anybody remember those? I collected them (of course!).

 

[over9five]

Do you still have the tree? (Planted somewhere, I hope).

 

[proups]

I did plant the tree.....wow, had forgotten about that one.

I've moved since then....now I'll have to go look!

 

[over9five]

Is it far? I'd love to know how tall it is now. Had to be about 12 years ago we got those. Mine didn't survive.

 

[proups]

Not too far.....I'll try to swing by there this week. I'm curious now!
