"After ten years of absence I returned to Ames to oversee the construction of a new warehouse for the Ball Plastics plant. After supervising these types of projects all over the country, I am still impressed with the quality of people in Iowa. This plant is among Ball's best producers mainly due [to] the workers. I live in California but I do miss the good people in Iowa."

"When I was 17, sitting in Mr. Nelson's chemistry class, I couldn't imagine staying in school another 10+ years.When I was 19, I figured out that I would have to get a Ph.D. to get the type of job I wanted. I couldn't imagine it would take more than 9+ years to be done with school.
When I was 24, I had a master's degree & couldn't imagine being in school another 5+ years.
When I was 29, I was still in school, making myself miserable by working 80+ hours a week, and earning less per hour than I did in high school (there's the downside to being paid a stipend/salary - work all you want, the pay's the same). I couldn't imagine why I had stayed in school for so long.
I was a student for 25 years. Now I'm on the faculty of the University of Georgia and the University of South Carolina. I have one of the best jobs in the world. Now, I can't imagine ever being done with school..."
--Travis Glenn, class of 1985
