Bill May

After 23 years at UA's in-plant, May is a certified Tide fan, though his roots stretch back to Mississippi. Born into a printing family in Charleston, Miss., May could run a press almost before he could tie his shoes. His father printed The Mississippi Sun newspaper.

"I grew up working in the shop with him," May recalls. "When I was 12 years old...I was responsible for printing the church bulletins on a Heidelberg windmill."
