IF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY
TO RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE
WORLD YOU WANTED FOR CHRIST
MAS, WHAT ONE THING WOULD
YOU ASK FOR?
Here are the wishes of some
Brevard Plant employees

real good Christmas for the rest of my
family.”
BOB DELWICHE (Process Control) —
“A new E. E. Column.”
TOMMYSMITH (Grounds) —“A21-inch
color TV.”
MARGE SOUTHER (IDP) — “Peace in
the world.”
CLARENCE SUMMEY (Control Main
tenance) — “An understanding of all
human beings because there’s none of
us that understand each other the way
weshould.”
