Popular Post ChrisL Posted December 5, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted December 5, 2018 From my former boss who gave me my first management job 30 years ago. I was actually surprised he's still alive, he's gotta be pushing 90 by now. I found his email and shot him a note and he replied back immediately! We're meeting for lunch after the holidays. i haven't seen him in at least 15 years. Looking forward to seeing him. 8 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he retired several years after I started I took over for him but I grew dissolusioned with the firm and left. We kept in touch through industry functions for a while but he stopped going to those and so we lost contact until yesterday. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petitepedal ★ Posted December 5, 2018 Share #5 Posted December 5, 2018 One of my late residents was an instructor at the Dunwoody Institute here in mpls years and years ago...a former student of his..from the 1960's reached out and took him out to lunch (I think)..anyway...this guy was awesome and I can only guess how much he influenced the guy who made the effort to look him up and thank him once found out his old instructor was still kicking. It is good to give thanks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I got one, but she is a girl and just a little like me. My wife has a mini-me in daughter #2. @smudge is lucky enough to have two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted December 6, 2018 Share #8 Posted December 6, 2018 I was good friends with the first boss long after she gave me my first (part-time) job related to my degree. I left the job about 1 yr. later for full-time, more stable job. She was a mentor to me...we visited each other several times annually then later only when I could fly to Toronto. She came to visit to see facilities that I managed, etc. ..that's how far she went and supported me. A good friend for about 30 yrs. before she unexpectedly died 15 years after retirement. Enjoy that lunch together, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
