1. What is your favorite/strongest memory about your first job at FedEx?
“My first job was in the Video Production Department in Memphis. Launching FXTV was a significant undertaking and our team was so focused on doing it right. Working on the “T-Day” broadcast, which aired over a 24 hour period was an amazing way to chronicle a very important historical moment in the company’s history.

After moving to Memphis from Los Angeles, my first assignment (I worked as a cameraman for FXTV) was to fly right back to L.A. on the corporate jet with Fred Smith, Jim Barksdale and Tom Martin. I was in “high cotton”, and it’s been one hell of a ride ever since!

1. What is your favorite/strongest memory about your first job at FedEx?
We had one location, three hangars overlooking our small hub in 1977. My first assignment was the clerical pool, and I worked on the switchboard for three weeks. Then, I moved to Safety & Security, and then to Public Relations. It was much easier in the earlier days to move around, but I found my home with landing in PR in 1980.
