A Giant Moves On

Since the move won't be complete until late summer, Sheehan emphasizes there's still time to resolve most of the relocation issues. But, she admits, there's one problem that's likely to last a while: the pain evoked by change.

"When I started here [24 years ago], we were doing hot metal typesetting. There are still pieces of old lead pipe embedded in the redwood-block floor. The new facility has concrete floors, which will be a lot harder to stand on than the wooden ones in the old plant," says Sheehan, noting the trade-off for tired feet is a workplace with plenty of room.
