Thomas's Story
I'm not sure where to start here,however, after graduation worked for Sunshine Bisquit for a year, then I was drafted and during my time in the Army, I spent a year in Viet Nam in the 9th Inf Div. After the Army episode I went to Delta College and flunked out and it told me to come back when I was serious about college. I worked for a couple of year as an inside sales person at U.S. Plywood and then I landed a job that drove me backed to college. It was October of 1972 and I was hired by Saginaw Steering Gear to work on one of it's assembly lines. All night for 8 hours it was "a pressure plate and two O-rings" I just knew I couldn't do this for the next 30 years. Being a Viet Nam vet, I had to just put in 90 days and then I was allowed to take an educational leave. That I did and in 1976 I graduated from SVSU witha degree in Accounting and minor in Economics. I worked in Steering Gears Accounting Department for ...Expand for more
5-6 years then found out I liked being in supervision in manufacturing. Never a dull moment in this environment. In 1989 I received my M.B.A. from SVSU and stayed at Steering Gear and moved into the quality arena to finish up my career. During my time working at SSG, I also taught as an Adjunct Professor off and on since 1977. I taught accounting at Delta College and Management classes at SVSU. My personnel life, I married Cindy in October 1970, we had our first child, daughter, in 1974 and two more daughters in 1978, and 1980. I am now retired from Delphi Saginaw (aka. SSG)and currently teaching a class at SVSU. I also sub teach in the Standish Sterling, and AuGres school system. My wife and I moved 8 miles north of AuGres, where we razed our old summer home and put up a new one to retire in. However, my wife, Cindy, is still working as an RN at Covenant Cooper. That is about as detailed as I can be right now.
