My dad, Rhys, and I went to Rexnord on Tuesday. After more than 30 years working there, my dad packed up his personal things. Among the things my dad packed was a piece of artwork with Michael's handprint. I am guessing it was made in kindergarten. A birthday card I made him with pressed Door County flowers and a school picture of me was also there. It was dated 1983. A photograph of Rhys when he was a baby brought tears to my dad's eyes.
I fondly remember when I was a child going into work with my dad on Saturday mornings. Sometimes Michael and I would get to make IBM punchcards with our names or other personalized sayings on them. My other childhood memory of Rexnord is of a big room with lots of machines "playing" tapes. They looked like giant reel-to-reel players. Computers sure were different in the late 70's!
