CHS Convention in Cincinnati
As the convention was drawing to a close, the evening Banquet got under way. Here we find Nancy and Bill Cooker, Kurt Spence in the blue shirt, Steve Flint in the Burgandy shirt, Dawnne Flint and someone in the grey suit, I can't identify. Help?
Come on, Steve is dressed up very nicely for the dinner, as is his wife. Although, I have never have seen him with a tie before. Steve, remind me next time you come down to Beloit, that I have more ties than I will ever use and you can have a bunch of them. Bob Kitto
Remember when a tie was part of the uniform on most shows? Also ties were a part of the dress code for most companies, in fact in the forties, everyone in the family print shop sported a tie, even if they didn't wear a dress shirt. Bob Kitto
Bob: I was always cautioned to wear a fake tie around printing presses so that it would pop off if it got caught in the press, as opposed to breaking my neck.
Same rule applied if working in a jail or prison lest some strong inmate reach through the bars and grab you by your tie.
I found a picture of Gary Buggs wearing a tie ----- so I guess it's O.K. for " The Cool Dude from Janesville " to wear one too , without getting flack from people like me .
