A
famous playwright once wrote that life was not to be likened to a brief candle
but to a “lasting torch” that could be passed on to the next generation.
Although he was probably not thinking of business succession when he wrote
this, we feel that his comment is certainly relative
to our own attitude here at Hoosier. I say this to reassure everyone who
may have questions or concerns now that Bob has passed that Hoosier will
continue on as before. The company is not for sale and it will continue to be
run by the “Newtons.”
The
only changes are the following:
Joyce
L. Newton - President
Marjorie
D. Skaggs – Vice President
Scotty
L. Merrill – Executive Vice President
There
are no other staff changes. Bob built a fantastic staff and they in turn have
built a great work force. Bob’s final act in the company was authorizing the
new mixer. It was his “baby” and I know he is smiling now that it is
completed and up and running.
I
want to thank you for your continued support and hard work.
Joyce
