Vickie's Story
Retired, or should I say quit my job on December 31, 2019 to take care of my mother full time. I started in 1975 working for a wonderful company, Dunlop Mfg. in the business of making guitar accessories. I was given many opportunities to learn about the company. Started on a production line, moved to the shipping department, managed and supervised a line of product and ended up a buyer. All that in 44 years, which I might add, flew by in a blink of an eye! I enjoyed this family oriented company very much and was proud to be apart of it.

I hope all is well with everyone!

November 16, my mother passed. Sad but relieved. It has been a long journey for both of us and I’m ok knowing she is at peace. I will miss her dearly and have been left with many happy memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I love you mom. 💞
