Bill Warwick: On Jon at the office

For your dad, work was a party. For me work was a war. We were both in the Industrial Engineering department and your dad managed to negotiate only working on the budgets which required very little time and effort. He had it down to a science so that all the analysis and work was done by the departments and he just summarized it and put it in the final format. Your dad loved people and this freed up his day to spend visiting and getting the scoop on what was going on. Back then all the executives and departments had secretaries and Jon knew them all and in his charming way he found out what was going on before anyone else. Personal computers were new at the time and Jon was always interested in them. When we figured out something new we always shared it with Jon. When the executives struggled with their new computers Jon would pop in and help them get the computer back up and running.
