Actually it was not Corporate Express anymore. It became Staples 10 years ago. I started in the business back in 1973. Bought into a company called Office World in 1980. Sold it to my competitor for acquisition #1 and then we became St Paul Book and Stationery. That was then sold to Corporate Express. It then became Corporate Express a Burmann Company before becoming Staples. About 6-8 months ago Staples was acquired by Sycamore group, an investment company. Overall I was involved with 6 acquisitions... I've been in the industry over 44 1/2 years...so I never left in all those acquisitions... I just got carried over and adapted to the changes. I'm somewhat fortunate as I could actually draw social security but I wanted to wait until 66.2 years old to get the full benefits.. and at 65 get Medicare.
