I've had a crush on Simon MacCorkindale since his Manimal days. I also loved him in Counterstrike. Barbara Billingsley was America's favorite TV mom. I still enjoy watching reruns of Leave it to Beaver. |

Though famous for her several horror film roles, I last saw her in the 1982 film Who Dares Wins as Helga. But, if you wanted a voluptuous, blood sucking vampire, look no further.

As people ...they went beyond what was required at times. I do remeber that first week,,,when he told me that by the end of the week he expected me to know the manufacturers of all my machinery in the dpeartment and everything about them, in operating them to repairing them or the people to get ahold to repair them...and then placed an 350 page book of state law's and federal laws of rules we had to go by to operate our facilty....I was overwhelmed.... then laughed and said..Yep, we all have to know them that are supervisors or operators of such facilites.We would go on to giving them trees for their new home they were building to his offering my dad an partime job when he was laid off...to when he wasn't even working there to helping trade off an piece of outdate machinery in my department. But I think the the day that he told an gal that was of the same close knit faith as he was that was trying upsurge me in my leadership...that he...because of thier same faith and church attendence did not consider that an factor at work in special treatment...and that he hired me to do the job for him in my department and would of never done that if he'd thought I couldn't do it...and he never wanted to see this person in his office without going through the correct protocal he had established first....that if I could work out something between us...he would consider her "wants" that day...but the outcome had to be in the best interest of the company and all those in it, through the choice of the supervisor he chose...not just her. he made no doubt of his Loyalty toward me that day. He was an man that ran some of the most prestigious health facilties for miles around over here...and beside him was always his wife..I admired them both for their professionalism and compatibilty in getting things "done"....and seemingly on very little funds to do it also. Joyce passed away on Nov. 18th(my mother's birthday)...at 88 years old. Requested no funeral...private family interment.( Otherwise the whole community might of shut down for the day most likley.) Time moves on...you meet an lof of people in your life, but seldom those whom enhance yours...they were that type. He passed on several years ago of an heart attack. |
