TEN YEAR EMPLOYEE, TOM HALE "1 enjoy working at Hallikainen Instru- ments" was the comment made by Thomas Hale, our lovable Irishman, who completed tenyears with H.I. last January 6th. Tom started as a technician, painter, shipping clerk, janitor, etc. For some time, Tom had charge of the Shipping Department,but since September of last year, his duties have changed. Because of his workmanship, ability and diligent service, Tom now has charge of - No.1) Stockroom, No.2) Central Stores and No.3) Mr. Schimbor's stationery. Tom was born in Long Beach, California, but moved to Alameda with his parents when he was three years old. His father worked for a steamship company and was trans- ferred to San Francisco. As a child he loved sports and played little league baseball and became quite a snow and water skier. He was president of the Bay Area Ski Federation. He has had to give up the skiing since his mar- riage and has become a spectator. He is an avid '49er and Giant fan. If the Giants win the pennant, Tom plans to spend a week of his vacation at the World Series. Tom enjoys dancing, golfing, reading (news- papers and Playboy magazines) and walking on the beach (l/2 block from his home). It was through his love for skiing that Tom met his wife, Marilyn. They met at a filling station in Auburn and later that day discovered they were staying at the same ski lodge. The Hale's live in Ala- meda and have two children, Debbie, 3 years and Tommy, 9 months. A lung dis- order has hampered Tom's activities lately, but he has plans to resume his skiing again. He wants to teach his children how to ski and play golf. Being a member of the Elks Club makes Tom eligible to play volleyball at the Club when he has any leisure time. When H.I. had a bowling team, Tom was the anchor man. Tom graduated from Alameda High School and attended Laney Trade School. While attending high school, Tom had the dis- tinction of being the only red.headed Irishman working as an Italian Produce Clerk. Before coming to H.I., Tom worked for a hi-fi company.
