Re: PMCC Employee Members

I seriously believe that maybe less than 5 PMCC employees are on PackardInfo.

First there is the age of the employee. Packard left Detroit in June 1956 and went to South Bend - that was 57 years ago. Say the employee was 20 at the time, that would make them 77 today. If you wanted someone with time and experience about Packard, then they would be in their early 80s today. Second, folks of this generation are not as interested in web forums as the younger folks are.

But, if you want to see and here some Packard employees, then (cue the broken record) you NEED to be at the 2013 PAC National Meet starting in 9 days.

On Monday, June 24 we are having a "Picnic at the PPG." After the catered lunch we will start a program starring the "Ladies of Packard" with:

1) Fran Hale, executive secretary to Hugh Ferry, and
2) MaryEllen Dohrs, contract employee on the 1955 Caribbean and 400 interiors.

I will also be bringing my two "aunts" who worked at Packard during WWII with my mother where they inspected Merlin engine parts before assembly.

So now that you know this, can we expect to see you in the "target rich" environs of Detroit to actually MEET some Packard employees?
