JIM MILLER JOINS 20-YEAR CLUB

This Friday set-up technician Jim Miller joins the coveted 20 Year Club, becoming the 22nd person to work at CPI for two decades.

He spent a lot of time in shipping before joining the set-up crew about 12 years ago. He's a hardworking & talented fellow when it comes to putting molds & tooling into machines and tuning them in.

Prior to coming here he worked at Kwik Stop in Niagara Falls as a clerk and in shipping & receiving at the Sears in the Summit Mall after spending some time at Niagara University. It was so long ago that Kwik Stop paid only $4.50/hour.

February 1991 seems so long ago. Here's what happened around the world that month:

* Two airplanes collided at the LA airport, killing 34
* Dr. Jack Kevorkian was barred from assisting with suicides
* The ground phase of the Gulf War started
* The IRA twice bombed London
