DENSE RETIRES AS
PLANT MANAGER
Jack Dense retired as Plant Manager
of the Brevard Plant on February 29, 1976.
He has 38 years of service to the Du Pont
Company.
Just prior to his last day on the Plant,
his many friends gave him a retirement
party at the Hendersonville Country Club.
Fellow workers from throughout the years
gave him mementos to refresh his memory
of bygone days and wished him well during
his retirement.
His career with Du Pont led him from
the original Defender Photo Supply Com
pany at Rochester, N. Y., acquired by Du
Pont in 1945, to positions of increasing
supervisory responsibility.
He started as a wage roll operator with
Defender in 1938. When Defender was
bought by Du Pont in 1945, he had earned
a BS Degree in Chemical Engineering at
Clarkson College of Technology, Potsdam,
N. Y. Starting as Engineering Supervisor
with Du Pont, he went to Ass't. Plant
Engineer, Plant Engineer (Rochester Plant)
. . . Chief Supervisor, Production Sup't.
(Parlin Plant) . . . Ass't. Plant Manager
(Rochester Plant) . . . Plant Manager (Bre
vard Plant) . . . Retirement (Glen Cannon
Country Club & Golf Course).
At home, shortly after retiring, Jack
had the following comments. "I haven't
had a chance yet to find out what retire
ment really is. With all the activities, I
don't feel I've even started to retire. I'm
not having any difficulty finding things
to do. I said to myself once I left the
Plant, I'd start playing golf 3 times a week
instead of just once. It's still just once
a week."
