PAUL, I THINK WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS A GREAT TRIBUTE TO BUDD AND TO IT'S PEOPLE!
MY FATHER, DAN LEDWIN, OWNER OF PULLMAN SALES & ENGINEERING & PULLMAN INDUSTRIES, HAD YEARS OF BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH BUDD, AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE FINEST AUTOMOTIVE COMPANY AROUND, BOTH IN QUALITY PRODUCTION, AND ETHICAL STANDARDS!
WHEN MY HUSBAND, TERRY PIERCE, BEGAN TO WORK FOR BUDD, MY FATHER WAS VERY PROUD THAT HE WAS WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY, AS HE FELT THERE WAS NO FINER COMPANY TO WORK FOR.
TERRY SPENT MANY YEARS WORKING FOR WHAT HE CONSIDERED THE BEST PEOPLE AND THE BEST COMPANY IN HIS LONG AND VALUED YEARS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY!
AS WE MANY TIMES SAY TO EACH OTHER--WE MAY ALL HAVE SEEN THE BEST OF WHAT THERE WAS IN THIS INDUSTRY. WE MAY NEVER SEE THESE GLORY YEARS AGAIN, SADLY.
HOPEFULLY, MARTINREA AND THEIR PEOPLE WILL APPRECIATE THE LONG AND RICH HERITAGE THAT IS BUDD, AND APPRECIATE THEIR ACQUISITION.

Elaine,
The Budd Company was more than a company...it was a culture. Thanks for your comments.
