“Fve always thought we were the
best. We had the potential all the
time, and we can do anything we set
out to do” — Mary Cannon, third
shift supervisor. Weave Room.
“We were able to do it because
everybody worked together. Every
body did a real good job” —Doc
Jones, first shift fixer.
“It took all of us working together
to do it. I feel real good about it” —
Bonita Davis, second shift weaver.
“Everybody put out their best. It
was the overall effort of every single
person. No one person can take cre
dit for this” — Dave Richardson,
first shift weaver.
Dave, however was rather modest
in his comments. He has set his own
record in addition to the one set by
the plant. He ran 14 looms at 99.2
percent for one shift and invited all
the other weavers to challenge his
record. When no one could break his
record, he decided to break it him
self. He then ran his looms at 99.3
percent.
When asked what he thought when
he first found out that the plant had
surpassed the 9-90 goal, he said,
“Barbecue!”
