Paul Ware, MS’77, of Stoughton, Massachusetts, writes, “After seven and a half years as vice president of quality assurance at Safety 1st in Canton, the traditional ‘downsize’ occurred. Safety 1st was bought out by Dorel Industries, and a faster-than-expected consolidation with their other juvenile products company, Cosco, in Indiana, left many without jobs beginning in September. However, it seems as though this was the proverbial opportunity since I have now established the consulting business I have dreamed about for quite some time. The business name is PW Resources and we specialize in quality assurance, regulatory compliance, supply-chain strategies, and new-product development for all types of consumer products. Initially, things are going well, with several U.S. clients on board. My son, Erik, is married and living in St. Louis with his wife and three chow ‘grand dogs’ (hopefully, kids soon.) My daughter, Jennifer, is a research scientist in Beverly, Massachusetts, working on various biotech projects, as well as finding the perfect man to marry.”
