As the owner of a sparkly new kitchen, still mostly bearing its protective plastic and as yet unsullied and uncooked in, I understand your feelings towards your new Viking stove!Zoë Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065427744062846167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-42322897974027131112016-09-26T11:03:16.296-04:002016-09-26T11:03:16.296-04:00Thank you for understanding how deeply this affect...Thank you for understanding how deeply this affects me too, my brother.

Viking is now a huge company and part of a conglomerate, but the folks closest to the company are still as loyal to me as I am to them.<br /><br />Fred Carl was the one who established that corporate culture. When Viking finally got going, he was strongly advised to manufacture elsewhere. But his hometown of Greenwood was capitol of the poorest county in the US. He insisted on keeping the jobs there. He changed more than just kitchen fittings. He brought a huge measure of prosperity to the people of Greenwood and Mississippi. I have the deepest admiration for him.

I look at my face in that picture and laugh out loud. I look like a silent film actor miming a double-take. I did not know a person would actually look like that when surprised in real life.

There are ways in which I am still that baby.<br /><br />Sadly, the seat next to me was taken on the plane. I'll have to wait till the new range makes its way here by train and van. I am feeling sorry for my old stove. I used to love it so much. Now I look at it and picture its replacement.
