Ruthy, I was so sorry to hear today of Norm’s passing, and my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I worked with Norm in Production Planning when you were in Boise. It was always fun times in the Owyhee Plaza! I worked with Norm occasionally when he was the Warehouse Manager in Burley, but when he became the Plant Manager of the Burley factory, we spoke often. I was the scheduler for Burley, and there was always something going on with those darned potatoes! Norm was always so kind and considerate, and it such a pleasure working with him.
