I started at Tandem in 1981. It was a great company to work for. CEO Jimmy Treybig came to new employee orientation and said, "The goal of Tandem is to make a lot of money and have a good time." Well wow. (Previous company would have seen good times as an error.)

There were a lot of good times: 4:30 on Fridays at Beer Bust, standing around the pool with colleagues. Working hard with great people.

Hi Tom! Fond memory of mine: running with Jimmy T. at lunch. What a great guy he was. Haven't done anything like that with a CEO since. Hope you're doing well!
