Ken Holm Retires After 35 Years

"My wife had a job and I didn't," he laughs. "I needed a job."

So started a career that has spanned 40 years and left Holm with no regrets.

"Once you get this printing stuff in your blood, you get to love it," says the 61-year-old.

For the past 35 years Holm has worked for University of Nebraska Printing and Copy Services, in Lincoln, starting there just a year after his four-year apprenticeship at Jacob North Printing Co. ended. This month he will retire. He will be missed not only by employees and customers, but by scores of in-plant managers accustomed to seeing him at ACUP and NSPA conferences over the years.
