New Execs--Changes in the Wind

Personally, Lyke says 1999 was a very interesting year for Ripon Community Printers.

"We have operated with the philosophy that our people are No. 1, with customers rating a very close second. We realize we cannot survive without both. We are family owned and wish to stay that way," Lyke contends. "We have done OK this year, although we are feeling the effects of price competition. Our goal for 1999 and 2000 is to position ourselves to take advantage of whatever opportunities may arise. We do many things well, but we still have a ways to go until we are where we need to be.
