From Joe Iten, Iten Equipment, Axton, VA, 2006

Joe was a machinery man with a difference.
He was honest.
Knew all the furniture plants down south.
Knew all the plant managers.
Knew all the machines.
Knew all the stories.
He grew up going into furniture plants with his dad, a machinery dealer, too.
Shared a lot with me before his untimely death.
Lived through the good years in the NC furniture industry.
Watched it all go to China.
Drank Coors Light.
With Joe, it wasn't about the money, although he complained about never making any.
