Sommers-the one word in plastics

Mr. McGuire: I just want to say one word to you – just one word.
Ben:
Yes sir.
Mr. McGuire:
Are you listening?
Ben:
Yes I am.
Mr. McGuire:
‘Plastics.’
Ben:
Exactly how do you mean?
Mr. McGuire:
There’s a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it?
Ben:
Yes I will.

 “Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thankless.
Christmas dinner's dark and blue.
When you stop and try to see it
From the turkey's point of view.

Sunday dinner isn't sunny.
Easter feasts are just bad luck.
When you see it from the viewpoint
Of a chicken or a duck.

Oh how I once loved tuna salad,
Pork and lobsters, lamb chops too.
Till I stopped and looked at dinner
From the dinner's point of view.”

Shel Silverstein

The 65 year history of Sommers is rich with stories of human achievement and exciting product development. In no chronological order, I share with you tales from memory illustrated with photos and videos discovered in Sommers' archive (dad's drawers and  filing cabinets).
