I’ve been posting this list for a week or so and while most everyone knows what this is all about, there are a few people that may not because they didn’t work for Kraft. With that in mind I thought I would try to give a little insight as to what this list is and what it really means to us. There is a Kraft Foods factory located in Champaign, Illinois. It was built in 1962 and opened in 1963. At the time of its opening it was the world’s largest food factory under one roof. I think it was 34 acres at the time and there have been some major additions since its opening so it’s certainly bigger than that now. When it initially opened it has a work force of over 2400 employees. It now has about half as many due to innovations, job eliminations, job combinations and retirement. Most of the people that worked there from the early days made Kraft their career, me included. The pay and the benefits were very good for this area and although I wouldn’t necessarily call us one big happy family, I would at the very least call us a family. Over the years we had our company picnics, our bowling and softball leagues, and our Christmas parties for our children. And we always had Christmas dinners together in our cafeterias’. Over the years as we have begun to retire, a lot of our friends have passed away. This is just a way for us to collectively put our heads and our hearts together and remember them. So here is the list as it stands today 04/22/14. There are now 317 names on the list. Please take a moment and look it over and let me know of any changes that need to be made.
