Interesting choice. Glore was in the 101 Airborne in Vietnam.

Re:Glore looks like a good catch to me. But first, Mr.Jim Sierk did an outstanding job for Iomega he was the man for the time. Glad to have him stay on the board. Thanks Jim for a great! job. I suspect that Jodie has been on the job for awhile and the reason why I say this is the following quote from his interview ''That is one of the things that intrigued me about Iomega, he said.''The closer you are to the manufacturer, the more you can reduce mean costs.'' It was leaked several weeks ago that IOM was looking in Texas for production facilities to better serve their OEMs. IMO he's been steering the company but the quarterly report had to come out before they wanted it to be official and along with that should have been the last of the bad news. From his bio at Rockwell, Following graduation, he spent 13 months in Germany and then served in Vietnam for a year with the 101st Airborne Division. From his interview, " I am excited by the opportunity to lead Iomega,''said Mr. Glore.''We have new products, new markets to conquer, a strong brand and an excellent team. It's going to be fun and challenging Doesn't look like a shrinking violet does he. He says that he's got "new markets to conquer " Looks like we have a warrior with a bit of attitude. : ) Dunn says " Most importantly, his record of profitably growing Rockwell Automation from $2.1 billion to $4.5 billion in just four years, makes him an ideal person to lead Iomega into the next millennium.'' Can't argue with that. I think the street will respect this move. Regards Reseller
