(On the retirement of five fellow workers at Lederle Labs)<\/p>\n
In a masterstroke of unplanning, we are letting go together five of our finest.<\/p>\n
Lederle’s preeminence was forged in the crucible of small working units,
\nWhere faceless workers work long and hard in simple ways,
\nRemoved from spotlight, unmentioned on honor rolls.
\nBut today, unable to carry the himility any longer,
\nWe discharge an old debt to honor five fine spirits, before it is too late.<\/p>\n
Years to come, when Lederle becomes number one in industry,
\nThe contributions of engineering will be rediscovered in full glory,
\nThe five who sit here today in elegant modesty,
\nWill each have a magnificent story.<\/p>\n
In this blissful moment of celebration
\nWe are too eager to say good-bye to you,
\nNot knowing a part of our lives is inextricably interwined with yours.<\/p>\n
