CELEBRATING A 50TH ANNIVERSARY!
Please join us in celebrating Randy and his 50th Anniversary at Boker’s, Inc.!
When celebrating Boker’s 100th Anniversary in 2019 we took the opportunity to interview several long-term employees; Randy was glad to share a perspective from his career at Boker’s. Randy said, “You get one year of experience 46 times (now, 50) and soon you know every position on the shop floor. All the employees are willing to help each other out – we have a real strong bond. It’s like family.”
Randy, today we celebrate you and all that you have done to support Boker’s Mission over these past 50 years. Thank you for being a big part of the Boker’s Family!
