I don't mean to go too far afield, but two more random thoughts and I'll quit:

Mr Estes was a very popular leader, even at the time and even among young people.

When I was at GMI I was in the room of a young lady and she had a photo on her bookshelf.

"Wow" I said. "Your dad looks a lot like Pete Estes".

"That IS Pete" she said.

At one point both my Dad and I worked directly for Herb Leitz. Dad was in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering and I was in the Engineering Assembly Liaison group.

Mr Leitz had created a new position to place assembly plant personnel in the engineering environment in order to provide up front manufacturing input into the design process. I was only the second person ever to occupy that position.

When I transitioned from Chevrolet Flint Assembly to Chevrolet (truck) Engineering I kept the same title, same phone and same desk at Engineering. The only change was that my paychecks started coming from engineering rather than the assembly plant.
