Ron was with Xerox throughout the 1970's and served in several leadership positions. He started as a Sales Representative, then as a Duplicator Specialist, a very difficult budget carrying, leadership role that required him to accomplish the duplicator targets through the regular sales team, he had to train review and work with the sales teams throughout the branch.  Later Ron was assigned the important job of training new hires (ASR Trainer) and finally he became the 9200 Manager when the 9200 was first introduced.  I remember Ron managed the "Kick Off" of the new 9200 with Jim Connors and others.  It was an outstanding Kick off at the Gault House in Louisville of which Colonel Sanders of KFC Fame and Xerox VP Jim Keil were present. After Xerox, Ron worked with Humana in several positions for a number                                              of years, until his retirement in Lexington, KY

Xerox 1974

I was with Xerox from 1974-1982 having been hired right out of college by Tom Beardon to be a Sr. Customer Rep.  Originally I was to work in Evanston but the position was closed by the region and I was assigned to Louisville.  I did my first interview with Xerox in Chicago – since I was from Illinois.  I was offered (after they tested me) a Sales position which I turned down.  Then I was offered my choice of working in Denver, Chicago or Louisville as a Customer Rep.  I picked Louisville because it was still close enough to my home town.  Believe I made the right choice!

Customer Reps were affiliated with Tech Reps and sometimes with Sales.  When we were shifted to Sales, Jim Kincer was my supervisor.  When we were shifted back I worked for Tom Bell and Eddie Brown.

I remember Louisville fondly and loved working for Xerox during such an exciting time.  When I left I was doing classes on 17 different products.  Let me mention a few:  660, 914, 4000, 4500, 2400, 3600, 9200, 9500/9600.  When the 9200 first came out I remember being assigned at a Sales promo meeting to babysit Col. Sanders who as very elderly at the time.

I also made several life-long friends while at Xerox such as Linda Hermann Biere, Donna Duval and Dee Patterson.

After leaving Xerox I moved to Los Angeles and worked for six years at The J. Paul Getty Museum (pictured left) in Malibu (the Villa.) 

At The Getty I was the manager of the Public Information Department.  I remember this as having been a very glamorous job especially with the parties in the evening at the Villa and guest lists which included dignitaries, from movie stars to Kings.  I married and had my daughter on my 35^th birthday.

Divorced and moved to my hometown in Illinois where I decided to go back to school and get a Master’s Degree in Physics.  Who Knew?!  I remarried and at the time my husband, Yuki, was working for a California Congressman and was transferred to Washington, D.C. 

We all moved to Maryland.  Yuki presently works for the U.S. Dept. of Commerce and is an International Trade Advisor.  I found a job working for Orbital Sciences Corporation (http://www.orbital.com/SatellitesSpace/) and worked there for 13 years as Sr. Technical Writer/Editor.  I most enjoyed the work which was on intergalactic spacecraft via NASA.  Here is a link to a project on which I did the editing and graphics.  http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/dawn/main/index.html

Our daughter,  Laura, (pictured left) grew up graduated in 2008 from University of Maryland and now lives in Arizona. 

My husband (pictured right) is originally from Japan and here is the family in front of his parent’s home by Tokyo 2010.  We mostly work, but when we get the chance love to travel.  I am local leader in our religion (http://www.sgi-usa.org/) and have two websites which I created to support educators all over the globe.

 

6/15/23 Update: 

I have been retired over ten years ago from NASA where worked last 20 years of my career as Sr. Technical Writer on 40 spacecraft. 

 I am now 72! My husband, Yuki Fujiyama, of 30 years is still working. We spent past 27 years in MD outside of DC. He works for US Dept. of Commerce in International Trade Finance. In Dec. of 2022 we moved to town outside of Toledo, OH. Yuki, tired of working on the Hill and the politics involved wanted to go to the field. He was put in charge of N. OH. So we moved. He loves the work helping local companies export internationally. At least we are a bit closer to my home town in IL and of course to Louisville. Wanted to attend the reunion but we already had plans.  We are both on LinkedIn - under Constance Haig and Yuki Fujiyama. Look us up. 

Sincerely, Connie

Tony was a sales rep in the early '70's first as a Road Runner and later working on Jim Kincer's team, serving the Hopkinsville area.  Tony was a very personable, fun-loving gentleman with a large sense-of-humor and was always the heart of the party!  Tony, was with Xerox for only a few years, but, everyone who met him (employees and customers) enjoyed and appreciated him!

I was with  Xerox from 1970 to 1979.  First in Lexington for K David Robertson and in 1973, Xerox moved me to Alaska until I left in 1979.

I had been in Anchorage in 1968, serving  as an Army officer after finishing college at FSU. After the service, returned to Florida in late 1970 to attend law school at FSU. After my 1st. year, (living in a trailer with two children, two jobs and going to law school), I decided "law" wasn't for me. That's when I interviewed for the job with Xerox. 

In 1973, an old Army buddy, also with Xerox in Anchorage, ask if I would be interested in returning to Alaska to help start a Xerox Branch Office. We returned to Alaska for our new adventure and I stayed with Xerox through the oil pipeline boom. In 1979. 

Also, in 1979, my wife, Judi and I divorced (Judi passed away 1989 from cancer).  You will remember, Judi and I had 2 children....Sharon Ann and Robert while we were in Alaska.  

In the early 1980's, my current wife, Lee and I were married and raised my son and daughter.  We now have 5 grandchildren!  Rob has 2 and Sharon has 3.

For a short time, I founded a real estate development company but, in 1980 bought a small seafood company called 10th and M Seafoods.  I had been brokering Salmon and Halibut around the world during 1979 and found I was very sucessful at it. 

Throughout the 80" and 90's our seafood company grew into an international business. 10th and M Seafoods carries over 350 seafood products, processes and markets salmon and halibut to grocery chains, retail stores and  wholesalers throughout the USA and Europe. We are also the largest shipper of perishables by Fed-Ex from Alaska. This is a family business with son Rob VP and Lee is Secretary/Tresurer.  

Our Web site is:  10thandMseafoods.com

My hobbies include hunting, fishing, flying and racing sports cars. I began racing Porsches in 1979 on the ice in Anchorage and in 1985 turned professional racing at the 24hrs of Daytona. and the 12 hrs of Sebring. We have raced Porsche's many times throught the US. Retiring from pro ranks in the early 90's.to focus on business. However, in 2005, together w/the Porsche factory, I started a new team to campaign a prototype in the Rolex Spots Car series, beginning with the Daytona 24hr. race in 2006 where we set a new track record and finished 3rd. In our next race, (the Miami Grand Prix) we set a new track record and won our 1st race. Our sponsor was the Ruby Tuesday Restrauant chain for the next 3yrs and we ended a very successful campaign in 2009. Even today, I still enjoy racing in historic sports car races with our 1960 Porsche roadster.  We race throughout the US, mostly on the west coast.

In Alaska, everyone must fly to get around, and since1969  we have had a Piper Cub and continue to fly around Alaska, hunting and fishing with son-in-law, whenever we can sneak away.  

Skip recently appeared in a reality show called "Mounted in Alaska" on the HISTORY Channel.

I joined Xerox in 1968, hired by Rich Fuchs and my first manager was Bob Smith.

10 years in sales, 10 years in service, and 10 years in the Agent Channel.  That adds up to 30 years with Xerox, and it went by too fast!  I had toooo many managers to list and tooo many to remember.

Left Xerox in 1998 and did nothing to speak of until my private parts grew back which were removed by the big X.

I finally did something for a few years; worked part time in several golf shops here in Louisville.  Had a ball!!!!  Little golf ball humor......

Also played some golf but had to retire from it also; too many back surgeries and I lost sight in my left eye.  I've got plenty of good excuses for bad golf....

My wonderful wife, Gay and I went to Italy for 3 glorious weeks and loved seeing all the sights and seeing where my parents were born.  While there, I was attacked by a band of gypsy girls in Rome.  I survived with my money and dignity in tact.

Had a great time working with Bill and Mark Hinton in the housing market until it went sour.  They are Great guys!!!!!

I am presently working part time selling golf carts for Cunningham Golf Cart Co. If you are in the market for a golf cart, give me a call.  I will sell it to you at the Xerox price ........you know what that means

Gay and I have been married for 46 years.....best 5 years of my life..

I have one wife
I have one son
I have one daughter-in-law
I have one grandson
I have one cat
I have one house
I have one regret.........and that is not being able to relive some the happiest times of my life being surrounded by the greatest people I have ever known.

I left for a brief 2 years to sell hospital computer systems for Shared Medical Systems with Oscar Wiygul who left Xerox earlier and was a branch manager for Sperry Univac. He recruited me and we moved to Houston. Almost 3 years later they shut down the Energy Branch of Sperry. Oscar moved to Washington D.C and I spent almost 3 years with a computer firm (PSI Energy Software) based in Calgary Canada, serving the Houston energy market. They went bankrupt and I went back into the financial world (pre Xerox I was a banker at 1st National Bk. of Louisville). 

In Sept. 1986 I started working for Shearson Lehman Bros.(retired on July 31, 2010), Shearson Lehman has merged and changed names many times, now known as Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. I have officed in the Houston Galleria and had the same phone number for 24 yrs.  I retired this year, July 31, 2010. 

Janice and I have been married for 50 years. Our children are as follows: Vicky Constantine (husband Jerry) live in Louisville they have a daughter Nicole and she has a daughter Bria 7yrs old (our best great granddaughter), Jimmy McCubbin, Jr. (wife Susan) lives within 3 miles of our home in Houston. 3 children, Tanya 23 yrs of age student at Univ. of Houston, Jimmy III 22 yrs of age student at Houston Community College, and Jarrod 20 yrs of age student Texas A/M.  Gene McCubbin (wife Stacy) lives within about 9 miles from us in Houston. They also have 3 children Jarron 20 yrs old student at Houston Baptist University, Jordan 17 year old High School Jr. and Jonathan 13 year old 6th grade student in Houston.


I have ridden in the annual Houston Rodeo Trailride (about 45 miles) every year for the past 16 yrs. and I have discovered snow skiing in my old age (started at age 60) and I ski with my son Gene and his 3 sons every year since then.  

I consider myself extremely lucky to have the family and many friends I have gathered over these many years.
