On January 9th we will have a new addition to our Twenty Year Club…Orie Cornett.
Orie is the 21st member of this select group. His remarkable accomplishment – two decades of service to one company – is very much appreciated by the Confers. Orie has always had the best interest of the company, our customers and our coworkers in mind. He goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect for everyone.
Prior to coming to Confer Plastics, Orie had an impressive 23 year career in the United States Army. He attained the rank of Master Sergeant and oversaw the operations of a 90-man tank company in Germany. He received a Meritorious Service Medal and 3 Army Commendation Medals.
Orie, 63, spent years as our third shift foreman and is now our first shift foremen. He is well-liked by all and is chock full of “Orie-isms”, humorous sayings he picked up and developed in his boyhood home of Kentucky. He lives in North Tonawanda and he and his wife have 4 children.
How long ago was January of 1991, the month that Orie started here? These are just a few of the things that happened that January…
• Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky scored his 700th goal
• The Buffalo Bills lost the first of four straight Super Bowls
• Eastern Airlines closed after 62 years of operation
• Congress authorized the use of military force to drive Iraq out of Kuwait, starting our Gulf War
