PRINTING INDUSTRY VETERANS — LASTING IMPRESSIONS

Now working on his 20th year at E&D Web in suburban Chicago, Vendl is that company’s president and owns the distinction of never missing a day of work in his life. Perhaps he loves the perks; his job afforded him the opportunity to attend the 1973 inauguration for President Nixon. Vendl and five other production personnel from Photopress were invited after helping to produce the inaugural book for Nixon. The same month they attended the inaugural, seven people with ties to Nixon’s re-election campaign were tried and convicted of breaking into and wiretapping the Democratic Party headquarters. Before the year was over, Nixon would prove that not all on-the-job transgressions could be forgiven.
