DAY 2: She loves metal! Cynthia Campos, a Set-Up Apprentice at Smith & Richardson in Geneva, Illinois, is passionate about metal and its scientific properties. Talking with her about metal, it was as joyful as getting a present under the Christmas Tree. In her story, “For the Love of Metal,” her message to young women is for them to follow their interests and passions. Don’t be discouraged from seeking a career in manufacturing by others who have misconceptions about, or don’t realize the career opportunities available in, the manufacturing industry.

Day 7: Our story today, “The Door is Open,” is about Renee Schroeder, Vice President of Operations at Smith & Richardson, Inc., in Geneva, Illinois. Like so many women I interviewed, Renee had never considered having a career in manufacturing. Just by happenstance, she landed her first job out of college at a manufacturing company and she’s been there ever since. She has three daughters who she has introduced to the industry because she knows first-hand what a great career manufacturing offers.

Day 8: This morning, Bonita Richter went into the basement looking for something. While looking, her eyes fell onto a box, which unexpectedly brought forth a flood of memories and feelings. This box represents a time in her life that means so much to her and influenced the writing of her book, Women Who Make. So, today, I’d like to share an inspired short poem she wrote, “A Cardboard Box.”

A Cardboard Box

By Bonita Richter

A cardboard box.
Unassuming. Brown. Worn.
Has a familiar name on it.
I ran out of the door so fast
And took little with me.
A few machined parts. Work notebooks. A Rockwell calendar.
A cardboard box.
Whispers a deep, rich history.
Tells of relationships still intact.
Means family working together
Over 42 years of building something meaningful.
Embodies my life.
A cardboard box.
