DESCRIPTORS *Alumni; College Graduates; Community Colleges; National Surveys; *Outcomes of Education; Personal Narratives; Profiles; Relevance (Education); Role of Education; *Student Attitudes; *Student Experience; *Success; Two Year Colleges; Two Year College Students ABSTRACT In September 1989, letters were sent to the presidents and public information officers of eachmember college of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges (Washington, D.C.) asking them to identifyoutstanding graduates who might be interested in composing shortessays describing their community college experience. More than 190 collegesin 39 states responded. The essays presented in this collectionwere selected from a total of over 500 submissions because they represented quality writing, a broad geographic distribution,and the diverse populations served by community colleges. Followinga preface by Edmund J. Gleazer on the power of the personal narratives toconvey the effectiveness of the colleges,an introductory chapter, "What This Book Is About," reviews the development of theidea for the collection, and the organization of theessays. The next chapter, "Community Colleges: An Introduction for the Uninitiated,"provides a brief historical overview, describes the servicesand enrollments of two-year colleges, and addressescommon concerns about the institutions (i.e., that the quality of students islow; that transfer rates are low; and that community collegesperpetuate class stratification). Next,one-page profiles of the graduates, which include a photograph and biographicalsketch in addition to the essay, are provided in eight chapters corresponding to the alumni's career fields: Law; Science, Technology, and Agriculture; Entertainment, Media, and Sports; Health and Medicine;Social Services; Business; Public Service; and Education.Indexes of profilees, and the colleges they attendedare included.

Here he combines a fascinating autobiography of a life in finance with a powerful exposé of how the business of giving works, including some tips for all of us on how to leverage our money to enlarge our largess.” —Walter Cronkite “Lewis Cullman has woven a rich and seamless fabric from the varied strands of his business, philanthropic, and personal life. Every chapter is filled with wonderful insights and amusing anecdotes that illuminate a life that has been very well lived. This book has been written with an honesty and candor that should serve as a model for others.” —David Rockefeller “An extraordinary look at the accomplishments of a pioneer in finance. Cullman has approached his role as a philanthropist with vigor and presents a powerful argument for reform among private foundations.” —George Soros Chairman, Soros Fund Management “I was so enjoyably exhausted after reading the book—I can only imagine liv- ing the life! It seems there is no good cause that Lewis has not supported, no good business opportunity that Lewis has missed, and no fun that Lewis has not had.” —Agnes Gund President Emerita, The Museum of Modern Art “Now I know that venture capitalism and horse trading are almost as much fun as looking for new species in the Amazon.

Evergreen decorations with myriad colored lights were located on all sides. With the opportunity of adding the beautiful Engineering and Research Building to the sites decorated, the Safety Supervisors, who arranged this program, made the Christmas Spirit visible in tasteful brightness. To spread the spirit of Christmas, the Company forwarded some of Maine’s beautiful evergreen trees, for use as Christmas trees, to Mr. Fred Wachs, President, Lexington Herald-Leader; Mr. Edwin Young, General Manager, Providence Journal; and to Mr. Frank Morrison, President, Pittsburgh Press. Practically all Woodlands work sites were closed December 24 and 25 for the holidays. Employees will work the following Saturday to make up time lost on Monday. This action gave the employees a four- day week end which meant a great deal to men whose work keeps them away from home all week.

  • Graco Oral History Project
    Lee D. Harness Narrator James E. Fogerty Minnesota Historical Society Interviewer Interviewed on December 27, 1984 JF = James E. Fogerty LH = Lee D. Harness JF: I’d like to start with a brief comment on where you were born, whereProject you went to school, and how you came to Graco. Why don’t you start with those, and proceed at your own pace. LH: I was born in the small town of Milltown, Wisconsin, and actually lived at my grandparents’ home at that time, on a farm. I moved to Minneapolis in about 1934 andSociety went to school here at Marshall High School I worked all the way through high school, working nights, Saturdays and what-not, in the retail hardware business. History I decided that I wanted to get out of that field and get in with a manufacturing company. I’d heard about Graco through some friends, and went over and applied for a job with the stipulation that what I wanted to do was get into sales, and therefore I wanted to get into the factory and learn the product and learn the businessOral for a period of time, and then go into the sales function. This was in 1939. I had finished school then, and interviewed with both Rollie Gray, who was the factory manager, and Leil Gray, who was theHistorical President of the Company. They were brothers. As it turned out, I was reallyInc. exploring this possibility, and hoped that something might develop. One of the reasons that I became conscious of the Company is that I had seen a trailer with a Vitalizer on it—which is a device for motor cleaning.
