It Takes a Community ... Part 2 Coworkers
It takes a community to make a business professional, and I have been blessed in my journey with some wonderful coworkers, many who have been mentors. I would like to recall and acknowledge a few in this segment. When I started at Hydraulics & Pneumatics in 1977, Ned Stull was the Executive Editor of the magazine. I was 23 at the time and Ned was at least 20 years older and an Air Force Veteran and former pilot. At first, I was not sure how to relate to Ned but I didn't need to worry about that because he made sure that he related to me. Over the years, we were not only colleagues but dear friends. Over the years, I accumulatively spent hours and hours speaking with Ned one-on-one about work and about life. Ned taught me a lot! I even picked up many of his sayings and use them to this day. Ned was a mentor and a great friend! Another great friend, colleague, mentor, and coworker started at the same time that I did. Dick Schneider...
