Any old Fisons reps or DMs out there?

We understand that she passed away several years ago. I believe it was some form of cancer. What did you do in the home office?

 

I work in the mailroom sorting out dust now.

 

Funny, I held the dust sorting job for a while. Then I got promoted to chasing the ladybugs off the windows. Finally, I retired after getting demoted to Human Resources.

 

I was a fisons rep from 87-91 on Long island. I just found old pictures from national meetings from La Casta. Ah the good old days.

Anyone else out there?

 

I remember the La Costa meeting. Also, The Breakers meeting in south Florida..remember that? Some of the best meeting food I've ever had! We saw Jerry Lewis in the lobby. Fisons was a good company. It was my first pharma job, and I feel I received very good training that prepared me for this career.

 

This is Jay - I was at that meeting. great company

 

How about when we were in San Francisco and the first Gulf war broke out. The hotel was being guarded and there were protesters in the streets. The bridge to the airport was shut down so no one could get out. We all bonded well in that one.

 

I had forgotten about the San Fran meeting WOW. However there were some good ones.

Palm Springs when the 4 tops came out

Orlando when we go a whole day off.

PS I still have some of my old luggage from those meetings

 

I worked in the Medical Affairs department. We kept a Sales Rep book so we would know you guys when you called in. I've been a few places since then and I can say to this day that Fisons with all its problems with the UK was the best place I have worked. Not withstanding that Cindy Dunn back stabber.

 

I started in 1979 when there were only 50 reps for the entire USA! I remember getting memos from home office anytime anyone left or joined the sales force no matter where in the country they worked. It felt like family.

 

When I joined in 86 there were like 125 in the country. Even the president knew your name.

 

Sure... there are a couple of us still here!! CG & LH......

 

Sn from NY

 

Jay in LA

 

I'll chuck one in from UK. I worked in Group HQ in early seventies when Intal was being launched.

I had lunch with Peter Fothergill just last week.

 

JF in Texas. I remember from our training class in 1985, there was this really nice, funny Cuban guy..I think his name was Al or Albert. At the end of training, we had a map of the US with a little star on where our territories were. He had a little boat going from Cuba to Miami, and then a star on Miami. Boy those were fun times.

 

John Ferguson - is that you?

 

If that is John - I worked with him in NY

 

Just read the responses - I'm a former Canadian Fisons rep and I also rember Kathleen McNally and Peter Fothergill (worked with both quite extensively).
