Lexington, KY

Dick Rudzik—known today as Richard—built a successful career with Xerox during the 1970s, serving as a Sales Representative. He began his tenure in the Lexington office, where we first met in the early 1970s, and later continued his work from the Louisville office. For much of his time with Xerox, Richard served as the Kentucky state government representative, working as part of Paul Logsdon’s GEM team. In that role, he achieved notable success and consistently delivered outstanding results for both Xerox and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

In 1979, Richard transitioned from Xerox and began a new career as a massage therapist in Lexington. He quickly established a strong reputation for excellence in his field and was honored as “Best of Lexington” by ACE Magazine. His studio is located in Monogram VOCE on the Esplanade in Lexington—a refined, professional setting just off the heart of downtown, where a quiet, welcoming atmosphere reflects the same care and attention he has always brought to his work.

Today, Richard is retired and resides in Lexington, where he enjoys time with his two adult sons and four grandchildren. While he does not use email, he is available by phone or text using the number listed above.

Dick was an excellent XEROX sales representative during the 1970's and early 80's in the Louisville Branch.  He was a very high energy, high integrity, southern gentleman and a good friend to everyone that knew him.  

In additional to being an outstanding sales representative, he was the drummer with the famous local musical group "The Monarchs"

Ron Hoffman
Lexington, KY

Ron Hoffman spent the 1970s with Xerox, where he held several key leadership roles and built a reputation for both performance and mentorship. He began his career as a Sales Representative before advancing to the role of Duplicator Specialist—an especially demanding, quota-driven position that required him to achieve duplicator sales targets through the broader sales team. In this role, Ron trained, coached, and worked closely with representatives across the branch, helping elevate overall performance.

He was later selected to serve as an ASR Trainer, responsible for developing and preparing new hires, further demonstrating Xerox’s confidence in his leadership and teaching abilities. Ron’s career culminated with his appointment as the 9200 Manager during the initial rollout of the Xerox 9200 system.

He also played a central role in the successful launch of the 9200, working alongside Jim Connors and others to coordinate a memorable kickoff event at the Galt House in Louisville. The event was widely regarded as a success and was attended by notable figures including Colonel Harland Sanders of KFC and Xerox Vice President Jim Keil.

Following his time at Xerox, Ron continued his professional career with Humana, where he served in several roles over a number of years before retiring in Lexington, Kentucky.

After a successful sales career he was promoted to Manager in Lexington,  during the 1970's as Area Manager Dave won many performance and recognition awards and special Xerox Presidents and Par Club trips.  Dave was a very good sales manager and had an outstanding ability to "read" people (customers and employees).  I remember one time when Dave and the Lexington Team hosted a dinner for Xerox VP Jim Keil in Lexington.  As a special gift that Dave and the team presented Jim Keil was real authentic "Kentucky Moonshine"!  The gift was very unique and something Mr. Keil or the Lexington Team would never forget! 
K. David and Diane have two sons and one Grandson.  
The entire family now lives in beautiful Colorado.

Derby 1976
My Xerox career began in September 1972. Apparently, persistence landed me the job as the first female Sales Representative to work in the Louisville Branch.  In 1986, after fourteen years, I left Xerox to become a Sales Manager for a local office supply and furniture company and became the Direct Sales Manager for Cellular One in 1987,  In 1990 relocated to Sacramento as their Major Account Marketing Manager.

In 1992, I was fortunate to return to Xerox, in Louisville, as an Outsourcing Sales Rep under George Hodgson, who was then General Manager.  I had a total of twenty years with Xerox before I retired in February of 1998.

Coincidently, in January 1998, I married Roy Whayne of Whayne Supply Company, one of my accounts at the time.  We were very happily married until August of 2007, when he passed away.

My two grown daughters are happily married and I am a proud Grandmother of five.  Caroline, my oldest is 8 years old, twins Ryan and Reid are 6, Hank is 3 and Hayden is almost 2.

Most of my time is spent tending to my grandchildren, whom I adore.  I am in a book club, a bridge club, on the Ballet Board, on the Holy Trinity School Board, and involved with Home of the Innocents.  I wrote a book entitled “A Grandmother’s Lullaby”, which you can view on my web site (agrandmotherslullaby.com).

10/30/20   Carol underwent heart bypass surgery. 


11/3/20 @ 11:00 I received this email from Carol's Daughter Jennifer: 


Thanks to everyone for" your support and prayers. My Mom was discharged for the hospital yesterday late afternoon. She is still moving slowly but in good spirits. I have her set up with home care and home nursing care. She continues to improve and her prognosis is excellent. 


However, due to the fact that Mom is now a COVID 'extremely high risk' patient, we are asking that she not receive any visitors this week, so she has time to heal. I have heard that many people are interested in helping with food etc so I will be setting up a 'Meal Train' for her as soon as I can. 


Once again- I would like to thank each and every of you for your prayers and support. Every prayer obviously helped bring Mom home, and Cindy and I can not Thank You enough for you support during this surprising situation.  If you wish, please send any get well notes to Carol's phone (text):  PHONE  or  EMAIL
