When we think about outstanding integrity as one of our core values, Eduardo “Lalo” Hernandez is the first to come to mind. Lalo is a 22-year Walther Farms veteran employee and has seen it all. Most recently in Three Rivers, he was called upon to lead the shop. His outstanding integrity has helped him excel with these new responsibilities. As …
It’s an interesting political season – and that’s a huge understatement. It’s pretty sad really that these two, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, are our choices for President of the United States. So much dishonesty, so many lies, partial truths, and half-truths, to go alongside topics such as taxes, deleting emails, Benghazi, national security, building a wall, race, poverty, education, …
“Stupid idiot! This person doesn’t know how to drive! Get out of the way!” I yelled as I tried to maneuver the traffic jam on the S-Curve in Grand Rapids; all while my wife and daughter sat listening to me have my selfish outburst, like a baby without a bottle.

A few weeks ago I had the chance to sit down with an old friend, reminisce for a bit, and talk about what he does for a living including his role in the hiring of new team members.

While in the checkout line, she spotted some lifesavers that she desperately wanted. She asked if she could have them and got a resounding “No” for an answer. Bummed and saddened by her …
WF Pride Integrity Chad Cottingham I remember getting our first computer in the fall of 1997. Kristen and I were so excited to get that new ‘Gateway 200’ all set up. We didn’t care that we had just spent nearly $2000 dollars on it – almost our entire savings – it was worth it to us. Connecting to the internet for …
WF Pride Integrity Chad Cottingham Apples to Apples is a fun, family friendly game that people can play in large groups. If you haven’t played it before, here’s the object of the game. Each player gets 7 cards with random words, people, places, things, etc… a noun. Then a community green card, an adjective, is chosen from that rounds judge. Each …
