Crest Ink - Volume 29 - Number 01

For the $500 that Crest Foods donates in my name to a charitable organization, I have picked The American Cancer Society. This is something that is close to my heart because I lost my younger sister many years ago to cancer. I can’t thank Crest Foods enough for their generous donation. And I can’t thank Crest Foods enough for taking a chance back in 1986 on a young(ish) mother by offering me a job that has grown up with me. Who would have thought that 30 years could actually be lived so quickly! Thank you again!! - Cheri Wow, what a quick 30 years! Fortunately what really makes the time fly is when you enjoy working with the people you work with. I (Ed Baylor) think back to when I first began working at Crest, I was a whopping 130 pounds and I actually had a little hair on my head. Hmm, what the heck happened there? I have spent my 30 years working in the Ingredient Division. I actually began in the production area of the Ingredient Division working for Tom Balch under Stephanie (Quinton) and Jeff (Meiners). After two or three years an opportunity to start purchasing the ingredients we had been blending with came up and this is where I have worked for the last 27 years. As Jeff mentioned at our Christmas dinner, we have many stories that could be told. Most cannot be written in the Crest Ink, as Cheri Kemp would have to edit for questionable content! There have been a lot wonderful people I have been fortunate to have met over the years both working at Crest as employees, and for Crest as suppliers. It has been a fun ride; we work hard, we play hard, and enjoy it. I really believe your job is what you make of it. If you have a positive attitude and treat people the way you want to be treated, then your 30 years of fun working at Crest will fly by. Go Cards. - Ed An Even Dozen Join the 20 Year Club Congratulations to Shane Stover, Rob Roath, Ed Weiler, Brian Schafer, Jeff Brecunier, Al Duthie, Tom Clayton, Dan Yates, Jim Shuck, Nancy Gleissner, Lola Paul and Chris Reynolds!

Editor’s note: If you get the chance, stop by the breakroom in the Main Plant and take a look at the pictures that rim the room. There are dozens and dozens of pictures of people who have gained entry into the Twenty Year Club. During the annual Christmas dinners, each of these people received a ring that signifies their accomplishment. It is no small feat to have reached this milestone and Crest Foods recognizes the amount of time and effort each of these people have put into keeping our company running. We asked those who were willing to write a little something about their time here. Their thoughts are on the following pages:
