William Dean Has Cut
‘Millions’ Of Blankets
Lester Carroll Garrett, previously an
assistant foreman in the Cutting and
Sewing Department at the Bedspread
Finishing Mill, has been appointed
foreman of Packaging and Warehous
ing at the same mill.
Mr. Garrett has been with Fieldcrest
since May, 1969, when he was employed
as a supervisory trainee. He was a pro
duction foreman in the Leaf Tobacco
Processing Department at the American
Tobacco Co. in Reidsville before join
ing Fieldcrest Mills.
When William Dean completed 45
years of continuous service recently, it
marked 45 years that he had worked
in the same department, the same mill
and very close to the same location in
the building where he first started in
1925.
He has been a blanket cutter for vir
tually all of the 45 years and continues
to work as a blanket cutter. This means
he has cut a large percentage of all of
the blankets made at the Blanket Mill
and finished at the Blanket Finishing
Mill since 1925.
Asked how many blanket he esti
mated he had cut, he replied “I guess
there’d be millions of them.’’
