SUBJECT: Truck lights

Barry Groden tells me he is still using the two propane fork trucks without headlights. To avoid getting OSHA involved in this matter, can you help me resolve this situation and get lights on both trucks before Friday?

The original delay resulted from the fact that this special headlight was out of stock and had to be shipped from the manufacturer. I understand now, however, the headlights have arrived, but Maintenance can’t spare the time to send someone to our site to install them. I can imagine Maintenance hears people crying “Wolf” much too often, but this repair falls into another category altogether–danger.

Would you please make a call to Bud Adams at ext. 4500 to see if they can accommodate us on this problem before Friday?

Thank you,

SUBJECT: Request for Approval for High Plains Roadshow Date and Guest List

After our discussion in Reno, I have given further thought to a date for the High Plains Roadshow and to the guest list. With your approval, I’d like to set May 23 as the date and invite approximately 90 people, including the following: 
•   Carburetor Division (RonCasper included here)
•   Clamps and Couplings Division (invited last year)
•   Coursco Pipe (customers of Bobby McCall’s)
•   Ron Grimsley (from State Health Department, to further our attempts to get their attention) 

Overall, I expect a good crowd from High Plains and only token representation from Tulsa. Although there is a scheduled and highly publicized political rally in High Plains on this same night, I think we can use the rally to promote the roadshow and draw people from it. Your thoughts on the date and the above guest list?
