Good read, too bad 99.9% of the WAPO readers will do a collective yawn after the first five lines and head for the sports and entertainment pages, if their attention span should last even that long.

"The man is 52 AND grew up during the depression. This is either a compilation or the GOP can not add.

Maybe a better public educational system needs to be worked into the GOP platform."

Uh, I think he said a "husband" of 52 years, not 52 years of age.

Hi what's WAPO?

George Esseff Sr.


After 45 years in the titanium industry, George J. Esseff Sr. has decided to retire from Supra Alloys, Inc. George was one of the original entrepreneurs in the field of commercial usage of titanium. In his position as a chemist and metallurgist for the government in 1952, at Fort Belvor, VA, he worked with titanium. Later he developed and patented a titanium clad aluminum cored spline which became the basic component for the use of titanium for all other fixtures in anodizing racks. Esseff was at the forefront of developing applications for titanium in areas of the industrial markets such as the metal finishing industry (baskets, racks, coils, etc.), the chemical/petro-chemical field (vessels, heat exchangers, etc.) and recreational markets such as bicycles, marine hardware and others.
He founded Ticore Inc. which later became Futura Titanium also Cosmos Minerals which recently became Astro-Cosmos and Supra Alloys Inc. (SAI), his most recent company.
His dedication to expanding the use of titanium, along with a handful of other pioneers and his call for a titanium metals society, led the way for today's ITA. His vision of a global market in the late 60's helped lead to development of markets in Europe and cooperation with suppliers and manufacturers in Japan. His companies were involved in licensing technologies for bi-metal cladding and a variety of environmental types of equipment all of which were successfully marketed in the U.S.

Over the past few years and more recently due to some health problems George has become less involved in the day to day operation of SAI. George Esseff Jr. has picked up most of these responsibilities. As of May, 1997, George Sr. will officially retire and George Jr. will become President and CEO of SAI. George Sr. will remain on with the company as a consultant.

The letter was published last year, 2004, and the writer states he was been married for 52+ years. This could mean he was married as early as 1951. If he were 22 years old when he was wed he would have been born in 1930. The depression lasted until the massive deficit spending associated with WWII. The is no problem with his math.

"was been" should have been "has been"

[WilDave]

It's kinda hard to follow conversations.

Of all the forum types I have used, I like this the best.

[hophead]

I guess you went to a government school run by democrats since you cannot read and or comprehend what you read. Look at it again idiot and you will see that what it really says is "... first and foremost, is a loving husband of some 52 plus years."
He has been married for 52 years, not 52 years old. Go read the Huffingtonpost.

[lolhelp]

You said "Just testing. Glad to see you guys are on the ball. Good job now get back to work".
Just curious, what kind of work does someone do with no more reading comprehension than you have?

See Post # 12.........and this one:

george@esseff-foundation.org

Note: I rec'd it today from my former Wellesley College roommate, who'd gotten it from a cyberpal. If it was posted on FR last October, then I'd say that it deserves to be reposted every 6 months........at least!

I admit to not reading more than one quarter of the post, but caught this:

>>"What is a Republican?", and you'll be told "... a rich, greedy, egotistical individual, motivated only by money and the desire to accumulate more and more of it, at the expense of the environment .. the working poor ....and all whom they exploit..."

Let me say, with no disrespect to the sensitives or the grammar police: KISS MY ASS. I am a REPUBLICAN...

WHAT I AM... a pissed off working stiff who had $4.18 in his pocket at Home depot to purchase 12" of 1/4" copper flex tubing @ $5.62 per inch to install a dishwasher for the wife. She is pissed off (banks her money} and I am pissed off because I spend every last cent surviving.. Needless to say, no sex for a while, and scrubadub till Wednesday. I am obviously the rich, looking to exploit the working man, and will have to do without lunch and cigarettes, and vodka, and my foot of copper flex tube until paid on Wednesday. I will hang Sheetrock, 30 12' sheets per day, or get the ax. I am an exploiter, until some company employing illegal aliens underbids us, then (again) I am the unemployed.,

It is all about the rich getting richer...

Like to meet someone in person, right now, that believes this shit... My dogs are hungry, and forgot too mention, no dog food till Wednesday either...

Please visit me, Henry wants food, and he will get my taco (even evil republicans feed their dogs) unless other opportunities present. Poncho gets his own food possum and rabbit are plentiful in the NE spring... DUmmies welcome, the sooner the better; look me up, I'm out there and available, hopefully yer close by as I want this taco.

Today is my birthday. May 15, 1933. Been married 48 years. From what I have read 1933 was the depth of the depression. I would say this man is at least 6 years older than I am. I was picking cotton in the San Joaquin Valley at the age of 6...

He could have married later. He did not mention serving in WWII. My father served in WWII, so he and my mother did not get married until Daddy was almost 26.

[BillaryBeGone]

I still haven't received an answer to my original question! That is: Are there copyright issues or other nuisances I must consider before posting this on the local College Republicans' Yahoo group Web site?! This is a great article that I would very much like to make available to the young people in my "charge", as it were. Will someone please advise on this?

[WideGlide]

Maybe you need to work on your reading comprehension skills Mark. While you're at it why don't you see about getting a refund on that defective public school education.

[Goodgirlinred]

I would think that you would have to check with the gentleman himself. He wrote it and paid for it to be printed in the newspaper.
