FRANK BUNCH SAYS FAREWELL
, —_—
"Vacations, shift schedules and my own
moving schedule did not give me an oppor
tunity to say good-bye to everyone. I
would like to do so now.
Working with all of you at Brevard was
a unique experience for me and one that I
am most grateful to have had. I very much
appreciate the way you accepted me as an
outsider" into the manufacturing organi
zation from Marketing, and I leave Brevard
with a great deal of respect and admiration
for the'very talented men and women who
work there, and make it the truely fine
Plant that it is. The part that Brevard has
played in the success of Photo Products
and Du Pont has’been noteworthy arid I
am sure that you will continue to be
successful in the years to come. It is
unfortunate that more of us from Market
ing have not had an opportunity to
experience first-hand the effort and
dedication that goes into producing the
outstanding products that are manufactured
at Brevard. The competition is getting
tougher and the task ahead won't get
easier — people are what make the differ
ence and in that respect Brevard has the
necessary resources.
I will miss very much working with you
and hope to have an opportunity to be
associated with Brevard again. In the
meantime, my family and I look forward
to a new adventure half way around the
world in the Far East. I realize Taiwan is a
long way away, but we would be delighted
to have visitors and you would be most
welcome."
Sincerely,
Frank Bunch
GOOD LUCK FRANK!
