The Job He Was Waiting For
When the business forms printing plant where he worked closed down in 1994, and a career counsellor asked Melvin Cooper what he wanted his next job to be, he didn't waver at all in his response.
"I want to run the print shop at Berea [College]," he responded. Two years later he had the job. Now, after 17 years as director of Printing Services at the Berea, Ky., college, he has no regrets.
Bob has served as editor of In-plant Impressions since October of 1994. Prior to that he served for three years as managing editor of Printing Impressions, a commercial printing publication.
