Working with Timken's Wind team has been a great experience for WALCO Tool & Engineering. I have great respect for this young new team at Timken and believe the Wind Turbine Industry and its customers will be well served. I appreciate this presentation at Case Western Reserve University who also has some great opportunities to work with business as positive agents for global change.

I think it's time for Timken to go the way of the Hoover Company ... as Roy Batty said in the final scenes of Blade Runner ... "Time to Die." Timken is a company that has outlived it's industrial lifespan of usefulness. After being laid off in May of 2009, after being told Timken was okay ... all I can say is: Timken can pucker up and kiss my @ss. Steelworkers - STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE! Hit Timken where it hurts - dig a hole and throw dirt on their coffin.
