Hi Paul!
Thanks for a great e-mail and a great idea! It's hard to sum up 20 working years into a 'philosophy', but I think many of us share the feeling that the work we did each day was not just for a paycheck (although that was important!) or to further the company's goals, but because our fellow employees needed what we did, to do what they had to do. At least for me, it was a personal thing.
We may not have been able to articulate the company credo, but we felt what we did was worthwhile and necessary to someone. Ideas like The Budd Institute gave us a chance to meet employees all up and down the corporate ladder and establish ties we would not otherwise have had.
My wish for you and all the Budd gang on this day is health and happiness and a joyous 4th of July!
