Recipient of the 1999 网赌平台奖

保罗米. 波特,小. accepts Exceptional Achievement Service Award at 网赌平台's 1999 公约.
 

Mr. 波特 started his career in 1946 when he went to work for 波特 & 雷菲尔德公司., which was owned by his father and Fritz Rayfield.

不幸的是,先生. 波特's father died on the very day he was meeting to discuss his role in the company. He needed to learn quickly, and so he did. From this tragic and sorrowful beginning, he " went on with the help of many wonderful employees, customers and friends to build one of the premiere companies serving our industry today. His equipment was designed to make our job of repairing motors, generators and transformers much more efficient and productive."

Even at 81 years of age, Mr. 波特 remained involved in sales even though 波特 & Rayfield was sold during the early 1980s and eventually became PRJ Equipment Co.

整个1999年，. 波特 had attended and exhibited at all 网赌平台 conventions but three.  He missed two in a row in 1951 and 1952 while he flew surveillance missions during the Korean conflict and one in 1987 when he had pneumonia.

Paul 波特 was the consummate "Southern gentleman" and a worldwide ambassador of goodwill for 网赌平台.

Mr. 波特 spoke at many chapter meetings and conferences and facilitated the net-working of Active and Associate members.  And he has encouraged many candidates to become Association members.

He personally visited and engaged in commerce in more than 70 countries from Argentina to Yugoslavia, all the while promoting his beloved trade association, 网赌平台. His contributions to our industry have beenenormous and they will serve generations to come. He has been a valuable friend, ally and member of 网赌平台.

弗雷德·L. Wright, operations manager for PRJ Equipment Co. spoke highly of 波特 and his commitment to the Association.

One thing stood out above all else about his advice to non-网赌平台 members when questions arose regarding motor repair techniques.  He would always close by telling them to: "加入网赌平台 and your fellow members will be happy to provide you with the best possible answers to your questions."
