<VV> Steel & Rubber

[henry kaczmarek]

All
Matt's a good Bossman.  His office is 10 steps from my desk and unless 
there's something private going on, His door is open. You can put a customer 
on hold and go get a price for a master number not in catalog, ask a tech 
question, whatever.  Sometimes he'll come back to my desk and talk to the 
customer himself.

Matt has worked in all areas of the company and is hands on. He started out 
working construction in Detroit so he's no-nonsense. I have never tried to 
bullshit him.

I've been on disability because of my cancer since early march, I don't know 
when they did the actual spread for the magazine and I haven't seen it yet. 
Many of you remember my job jumping in the late 90's and the 1st decade of 
this century.  June 1 is my 5 year anniversary at Steele and I'll be there 
till I drop or Matt throws me out the door.

Its a good company, pays well and it's the best job I've had in 15 years in 
the Auto Parts Biz.

BTW, just to keep things rolling, the Steele Family has owned 2 Corvairs, 
Both earlies, 1 a Spyder. Now sold off.
