Who Makes 'Em ?

The manufacturing floor at Dalton Electric is populated by a healthy group of talented and capable individuals. Supervisory duties fall on the shoulders of two experienced managers.

Tony Menesale has been with Dalton since 1995. He is long on experience as a Machinist and Supervisor with employment at Varian, United Shoe Machinery, Beverly Pattern and Gloucester Engineering. In 1986 he opted for a change in his life and started Taurus Landscaping Company. Among his early customers was Dalton
Electric. The business was very successful for a number of years as a result of Tony's hard work and skilled crew and the grounds around Dalton flourished.

Early in the winter of 1995, our Manufacturing Manager, an old friend of Tony's, talked
him into joining the company in the Machine Shop. Tony's talents made him a valuable
member of the Dalton Family and within a couple of years he was promoted to Shop
Supervisor.

At the end of January, 2002 our V.P Manufacturing retired and Tony became the Plant
Manager, responsible for managing all aspects of manufacturing and facility maintenance and operation. Tony is a member of the Dalton Management Committee and a big contributor to the continuing success of Dalton Electric Heating. He lives locally with his wife, Sue, and they are the parents of a son and daughter. Tony does a tremendous job of making Watt-Flex® cartridge heaters, but we occasionally catch him pulling a weed in the garden outside the back door on his way home.

Friday Funnies

There once was a rich man who was near death. He was very grieved because he had
worked so hard for his money and he wanted to be able to take it with him to heaven.
So he began to pray that he might be able to take some of his wealth with him. An
angel hears his plea and appears to him. Sorry, but you can't take your wealth with
you." The man implores the angel to speak to God to see if He might bend the rules.

The man continues to pray that his wealth could follow him. The angel reappears and
informs the man that God has decided to allow him to take one suitcase with him.
Overjoyed, the man gathers his largest suitcase and fills it with pure gold bars and
places it beside his bed.

Soon afterward the man dies and shows up at the Gates of Heaven to greet St. Peter.
St. Peter seeing the suitcase says, Hold on, you can't bring that in here! But, the man
explains to St. Peter that he has permission and asks him to verify his story with God.
Sure enough, St. Peter checks and comes back saying, You're right. You are allowed
one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to check its contents before letting it through. St.
Peter opens the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that the man found too precious
to leave behind and exclaims, "You brought pavement?!"
