The company's Corporate Communications Department is teaming up with author Chris Roush on a book to celebrate the company's 100th Anniversary. All active and retired employees in the Carolinas and Florida will receive a copy of the book by the end of January 2009

Chris Roush is a journalism professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and an author who has written five books, including three corporate histories. His experience includes 13 years as a business writer and editor for major newspapers, including the St. Pete Times, the Tampa Tribune and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He is busy interviewing active and retired employees for the book.

We think that providing all active and retired employees with a copy of this book will be a nice way to conclude our celebration, when the book is distributed in January 2009.

If you have questions about the 100th anniversary book, please contact David McNeill of Corporate Communications at (public) 919-546-6978 or (VoiceNet) 770-6978.
