2013 Hall of Fame : David Pilcher Sr. - Inspiration and Reclamation

Truth be known, Mr. ZIP played a pivotal role in breathing new life into the career of David Pilcher Sr.

It was 1980 and Pilcher was a then-13-year veteran of Litho Color Press in Chicago. He had read a fascinating story about one Frank Beddor Jr., whom Pilcher would consider the Donald Trump of printing. Pilcher was in awe of Beddor and wanted to be a part of his growing empire, so he wrote Beddor a letter, asking to be considered for a position within his organization.
