- special events or outings
- dramas (accidents, fires, etc.)
- humorous incidents
- particular challenges (for yourself, for the company)
- successes and failures
- unforgettable characters

What were your first impressions of the firm (or firms) you worked for? Tell us about the conditions, the atmosphere, the work itself. How was work prioritized and processed? How was quality controlled? What changes did you initiate or experience during your time there? What did printing and Sun Printers (or the firm you worked for) mean to you?
Tell us anything else you can think of. What was the noise level like? What were the health and safety provisions or concerns? What hours did you work? What vacation time did you get? What perks were available? What did you like/dislike? Did you belong to a company club? If you attended company sports days, car rallies, or other events, please tell us about them.
Do you have company correspondence, memoranda, publicity material, personnel lists, chapel lists, and/or photos you could loan us?
