I arrived at IMD, in 1970. Even though I was not in Marketing, Swede always treated me very well.
One day, on his way to work, he was stopped in traffic, at the red light. The car in front of him had a plate that started DMB. At IMD, to send internal mail, we wrote the person's initials on the folded paper, and put it in the internal mail. Swede got out of his car at the light, and asked the person, "How long have you had the plate" ? "I got it yesterday". Swede took a detour to the BMV, and got new plates, starting with DMB.
One time a few of us were talking, and Swede told us that yesterday, he could not find anyone who wanted the(marketing) tickets to SPAC. I told Swede that I would have taking them. From that day on, he would ask me many times if I could use them.
in 1980, I went into Marketing, as the Account Manager, in Erie, Pa. In 1985, I went to Aircraft Engine, in Cincinnati. Oh. I retired (early) in 2000.
GE was a wonderful company, as was IMD.
