Rubbermaid Employees
Hi Mel,
Rubbermaid - the first product the guy made was a rubber
dust pan and that's where the name comes from.
I worked with Volkmar (quality control) and Mankin
worked for me in new products. He left just before me
and Volkmar shortly after me.
I talked to Mankin via Skype about a month ago and he
has accepted a position as Director of Quality
Control-Power Tool Division for Hong Kong /China for
Techtronics Industries Company Ltd, he will start after
the Chinese new year when his present contract runs out.
One of the companies they own is Vax vacuum cleaners,
you probably know of them.
Mankin and Volkmar are really nice guys.
Mankin was in Toronto last year on business and Volkmar,
Mankin, Nick (Rubbermaid's industrial chemist who had
just been laid off) and I had lunch. It was really good
seeing them after 30 years. I will send some pics.

Volkmar is very athletic, used to run marathons. Some mornings he would run to work about 22 miles, have a shower, do his days work then get a ride home with another guy who lived nearby. He still does a half marathon once a month, not bad for a 70 year old! Take
care,
Below are some pics at our luncheon in May, 2009, in Agincourt, east
of Toronto. Although it was referred to as Aisancourt when we
live in Toronto. I'm sure you can figure out why!
Ernie.
