I have been home a couple of weeks now and haven't told you I was home, and after seeing my parents this weekend, I was chastised for not keeping you guys up to date on my itinerary, so here is a quickie....
We did complete our accreditation audit in June and we did pass! Of course, we knew we would, but at least we have the official word. This was a 7 day audit process to look at all aspects of our systems. Long. Arduous at times, but over.
We have managed to make our 1st product and it is assembled, complete and ready to ship. Our customer is reviewing all of our paperwork submissions and should approve that and authorize us to ship in 3 weeks or thereabouts and then we continue to move to the next products.
So, while all of that is going on, I headed back home for a much needed week of R&R at the beach with the family and I will continue working from here for about 6 more weeks until I head back.
I did hear from “John” in LA (no, not Lower Alabama, the real LA) who has some questions about Chengdu since he may be moving there soon so the blog is reaching out yet again….Which reminds me – I haven’t heard from “Jane in Texas”, so Jane, what is your status on you and your family moving to Chengdu? Send me a note – mitchell.mercer@timken.com

I am so glad your Dad suggested you "post" again. Been checking regularly and I came really close last week to emailing your brother to ask about you. I was just a bit concerned because there was nothing since the earthquake news.
Jerome and I will be in Chengdu at the end of August. We are busy selling our house and packing shipments to China and shipments to storage. I will get in touch when we arrive. Have a great vacation.
