Dreaming Big: One Employee at a Time

摘要

Don Doran hasn't worked for Blackwell Plastics for a few years. Yet his name lives on at the custom plastic injection molding company. Cancer took Doran from the plant on Cavanaugh Street in Houston, where he had worked for 52 years. His coworkers at Blackwell, however, still keep him fresh in their minds. Each year, Blackwell awards the Don Doran Memorial Service Award to an employee who exemplifies commitment to the team and lives up to Doran's memory. The two-year-old award is the top honor an employee can receive at the plant. President Jeff Applegate remembers fondly how Doran wore a cowboy hat to work every day without fail.
