When asked about any major blunders over the years, Stan Richards told an interesting tale. A Dallas Morning News Reporter recounted the story. “After 19 hours of travel, he got home, took a shower, put on his ‘blue new-business- presentation suit,’ jumped in his car and drove to Liquid Paper’s headquarters, ‘wired for work and excited as hell.’This introduction was supposed to be a formality. The board wouldn’t vote on his election until the following day, and Mrs. Graham had explained that it was a done deal.
The second he took his seat and looked down the long table at Mrs. Graham, Mr. Temerlin knew he was in deep trouble. ‘I could not keep my eyes open. I’m biting my knuckles, pinching my skin, bending my toes back – I literally had bruises the next day to prove it.’
‘I thought I might be able to fake it by covering my eyes and holding a pen like I was taking notes. But the next thing I knew, my head was on the table. God knows what sound it made when it hit.’ Read the rest of the story at the Dallas Morning New’s site.
