A Pat On the Back
Posted Mar 08, 2012 in Publisher's Page
It's December 17th, 2010, the morning after Larry King's last show on CNN. The decision to pass the torch to Piers Morgan, who was born in 1965--the first year after the end of the Baby Boomer generation--makes me very cognizant of the fact that Baby Boomers are officially becoming senior citizens. Ugh.
As if to really emphasize this passing of the torch, this day is also Pat Segnere's [VP-Sales for the Technical Products Team] last day at Ivoclar Vivadent. The announcement of his retirement initially left me feeling, selfishly, somewhat deserted. Pat is among my original, fellow-Boomer industry friends and has been a vocal supporter of LMT's mission dating back to the early 80s. (Of course, that feeling of desertion is the one that whispers: "time waits for no one." We love the hellos and hate the goodbyes.)
My hello with Pat began with a pick up at the Buffalo airport back in 1983. That's not what it sounds like. I was met with a warm welcome and a ride to headquarters...
