Historical Talk about YORK Air Conditioning and Refrigeration
I use this montage, from the 1994 Annual Report of York International Corporation, as the title slide in my latest presentation. This historical talk about YORK Air Conditioning and Refrigeration covers the years 1935 to 2005.
This new presentation is in response to several talks I gave in the past year on the first 60 years of the company; i.e. from 1874 to 1934. People wanted to know the rest of the story about The YORKS:
The kick-off ‘1935 to 2005 YORKS’ talk occurs today (10/27/14) as an OLLI class at Penn State York. Use this link to learn about OLLI. The ‘1935 to 2005 YORKS’ talk will also be presented at other venues; watch for their announcements.
My Spring 2015 OLLI Classes
If you’re interested in what I’ll be doing for my next OLLI class; it will be a two-part presentation on April 22 and April 29, 2015. For full details and registration, watch for the Spring 2015 OLLI Catalog at this link.
In my Spring 2015 OLLI classes, I will be counting down the Top 50 York County Factories in 1899. Even though I’m limiting myself to 3-minutes on each company, I’ve selected some cream-of-the-crop, neat morsels to highlight each company. This two-part presentation should make for some fun classes.
