1962 HARRY MOSER and his Reshoring Initiative are collaborating with the Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME) to promote LeanShoringTM in which organizations can reduce domestic manufacturing costs by eliminating waste in their processes, including anything that does not provide value to the customer. In an article on the AME website, Harry said, “We are committed to changing the sourcing paradigm from ‘offshored is cheaper’ to ‘local reduces the total cost of ownership.’” In June, he participated in a Q&A with Today’s Medical Developments about how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the reshoring effort and supply chains, especially for medical products. “When the COVID-19 pandemic ends,” he said, “America’s global supply chain must be replaced with local and national sourcing, but it won’t just be in health care. Other leading industries of focus include transportation equipment, appliances, plastic and rubber products, fabricated metal products, electronics, and apparel.” Later in the interview, he added, “When people reshore, they accept a higher U.S. cost, but reduction in overhead (inventory, travel, international property, etc.).” Harry urges any alumni who might influence company sourcing decisions to contact him for help at harry.moser@reshorenow.org.

1967 GLENN HERRICK writes, “After graduating from Gordon College in Wenham, MA, my wife, Ruth, and I settled in Wenham, MA where I started a 30-year career at BayBank (now part of the Bank of America system). My wife, who also graduated from Gordon, was a teacher at the Hamilton-Wenham Regional Schools for 34 years. Over the years, I served the Town of Wenham in various capacities: Recreation Board and Finance Committee member as well as two three-year terms as a Selectman. I also was a member of the Wenham Auxiliary Police for many years. I coached a variety of youth and travel team sports, including baseball and soccer while, over time, serving as President of the local Little League, Youth Soccer, and Youth Hockey Organizations. With two children active in competitive swimming, I became a certified official and also served as a board member of New England USA Swimming. In 2007, we retired and relocated to a small Maine town called Old Town. We have a son, Timothy, who lives with his family in Hamilton, MA, and our daughter, Susan, lives near us here in Old Town with her family. Life is good. We love Maine!”
