Richard Binswanger worked at the Mirror Company office in the early 70’s and would talk as fast as possible to put as many letters as possible on a “belt” of dictation, which Barbara Orr had to type. Mr. Lewis hired Jan Bess (who was then Jan Self) only after being assured by Jan that she would not quit to get married and have babies. Jan then hired me, and it was the start of a great 36 years.
A few years later Mirror Products hired a young Laurel Markham who I believe helped get the Man-Man system started for the mirror plant. Barbara Orr and I were customer service reps and Wanda Walker was order entry clerk. We hired Diane Joyner and Reba Hopper who both went on to do bigger and better things. When Jim Bess left the company, we had a going away party at a Mexican restaurant in mid town and it still makes me shiver when I think about how many drinks were consumed. John Ledbetter and John Key took over for Jim. John Ledbetter is still a sales rep for Mirror Products, but John Key went by the wayside many years ago.
