Wisdom Born from Experience

Even though Sutera had graduated from the college, he didn't know it had an in-plant. When he visited, he was told that the shop couldn't afford to upgrade to the new press. So he advised them to keep their old 1250 and add a camera to save money. In turn, he was hired to run the press.

After working there for two years, Sutera applied for a manager position with the in-plant at Fred Meyer. He got the job and started on December 30, 1974; 31 years later he is still there.
