After a long and distinguished career in the grocery business hallmarked by many years at the Co-op, Bob Hayes (right) retired near the end of 2008. Bob was the store manager of the Lebanon Co-op, which means every day he carried a huge amount of responsibility across his shoulders. In his work as Lebanon food store manager, Bob was known for being smart, matter-of-fact, and fair, and for displaying a bulldog demeanor that belied a gentle and soft-spoken temperament. His replacement, Bruce Follett (left), is another hard-working guy who has been at the Co-op for a long time too—carrying with him a set of highly efficient skills and a way with people that makes him a natural for the job. Bruce has spent the last several months learning the ropes from Bob, and the Co-op will spend the next several years realizing how lucky we have been to have them both here. Thank you, Bob, and congratulations, Bruce. No doubt the big job of Lebanon store manager is passing from one set of very capable hands to another.
