Having read your posting, two Holiday memories came to mind. I recall Herman Foster and others in the “Budd Glee Club?” singing carols at the corporate office. I recall that Herman had a great tenor voice. Unfortunately I cannot remember the names of the other singers. Perhaps another Budd Blogger will contribute.
The second Budd holiday memory was about a Stamping and Frame Christmas party. Jim Roth had been enjoying the first class refreshments and rose to give the obligatory thank you for the employee’s contribution the previous year. As he held forth for some time he said thanks to all the little women at home supporting their husbands efforts to make the division successful. Needless to say this was not appreciated by “all the little women” who also worked outside their homes as well as the ladies who worked at Stamping and Frame. This proved to be one of the more memorable parties and contributed to much office discussion and joking about “the little women at home”.
