[QUOTE="scratch, post: 5769432, member: 1674"] I remember seeing him from a distance in the original Atlanta Hub on his "Farewell Tour". He was going around on a motor coach visiting buildings. Casey had been retired and ignored by the Board of Directors for years at that time. He had wanted to start Next Day Air Delivery years before FedEx existed and the company didn't think it was worth it. We had "Blue Label" Second Day Air back then. One of my uncles married this woman who was previously married to a big shot UPS Personnel Manager. This guy had hired Jack Rogers and Oz Nelson who became UPS's CEO and she told me all kind of stories about how they moved around the country as UPS spread all over the Midwest. Aunt Eleanor got 70,000 shares of UPS stock in the divorce, which was way before the IPO. My uncle later met her at an AA meeting at Hilton Head Island, SC and they got married, this was back in the 1980's and they are both gone now. She told me about eating dinner with him in NYC and Greenwich Ct back in the day. I knew he never married but my aunt never said anything about his preferences. I don't remember any big deal at work when he finally passed away. [/QUOTE]
