Zytron Field Personnel
No company could ever be as successful as Zytron without the dedication of many talented and dedicated field personnel in several disciplines. The following are candid shots of just a few of the many that contributed to that success.
While Zytron was always a giant in the microfiche services area, the late Dennis McKenna gave us a firm start in print and print-and-mail.
Dennis could always be found drumming up business, negotiating with vendors and sharing his knowledge anytime and anywhere he could find a way to communicate as in this example from Menlo Park in June of 1987.
Mr. Buddy Preston's "after-hours" exploits are documented elsewhere on these webpages. After establishing a firm lock on the microfilm services in the Austin, Texas area with his own business, Buddy joined Zytron and continued to run the shop under the Zytron banner while he negotiated the State contract for microfilm services and supplies for many years. Buddy left his beloved Texas several years later to lend his many sales, operational and teaching skills to our D.C. branch. From there, he was "booted" to our corporate headquarters in Atlanta as a vice president. Buddy's positive influence on so many coworkers in all areas of the business and all areas of the country cannot be overestimated.
Mr. Bill Pfeiffer is another employee who served Zytron in various positions in multiple branches for many years, including a vice presidency in our Atlanta headquarters. Bill's ability to visualize a customer's needs and parlay it in to an opportunity for Zytron is unparalleled in the industry.
This picture of Mr. Rany Hale was taken in January of 1987. Although Randy had long since left his positions as leader of Dallas' operations and systems groups, here's proof positive that a good salesman still chips in when needed.
Ms. Jean Ludwick was a permanent fixture on the West Coast sales scene for many years.
Your's truly with his infamous "No More Mr. Nice Guy" mug. I don't remember if this was in Dallas or Oklahoma City, but I believe I had the reputation in both cities - as well as in Tulsa and Des Moines prior to that.
Ms. Beverly Dye of Oklahoma City, has served the company well in the same department (operations) in the same town for more years than almost any other employee. She was caught here in a reflective moment in February of 1989.
Ms. Kathy Ward, surveying the new Washington D.C. facility before its buildout.
I am sure that, like me, these pictures have reminded you of many others who contributed to the Zytron success. I would be happy to hear your stories and even post your pictures if you will drop me a line.
