CHANDLER, B.SC., C.F.P. WILLIAM (BILL) STEPHENSON DIANNE P. MURPHY Financial Planner Representative MICHELLE E. KENNEDY A.E. `ERIC) OSTLAND Representative Representative Retired Champion employees Grant Proctor, Don Stemp and Bill Bradley work as tour guides on a casual basis. Retirees conduct Champion plant tours You can take the employee out of Champion but it's difficult to take Champion out of the employee. Grant Proctor, Don Stemp and Bill Bradley have all retired from their jobs at Champion, but all are still employed on an occasional basis by the company as tour guides. The program was put into effect about a year ago when a proliferation of tours kept many employees off the job. For Proctor, who retired. in 1982 after 18 years service with Champion, his duties as a tour guide keep him active and involved in the company. "I think it's a good idea," he said. "There's three of us involved and we work on call. We will take a group through the main plant in the morning, have lunch and then tour Gear'co and the training centre in the afternoon." Conducting tours on a weekly basis keeps Proctor in touch with his old workmates and in tune with the product and changes in either componentry or manufacturing techniques. . Working mostly with municipal councils, Proctor said the tours are invaluable to the company. The customer gets to see exactly what they're buying and they get to see the product all the way through the line he added. In his capacity as tour guide, Proctor has fielded just about every conceivable inane and intelligent question., "Some people want you to explain every little part and others don't ask any questions at all," he said. A former construction worker who also worked in the road -building industry in Northern Ontario, Proctor Was a Caterpillar grader operator before he came to Champion as a welder in 1963 at the insistence of Bucky Graham. During his career, Proctor worked as a welder before -moving to the assembly line for 10 years. As far as Grant is concerned; he's got the best of both worlds. He's officially retired and yet he gets to work on a casual basis at Champion. It's a relationship he would like to see continue for quite a while.
