My cousin's company, Lafayette Life Insurance, recently made the news with an announcement by its CEO and President, Jerry Stillwell (my cousin), regarding the company's decision to leave the city of Lafayette, Indiana, after a stay lasting a hundred and five years. The company, with Jerry staying at the helm, will move to Cincinnati, Ohio by the end of June, 2011. As you might imagine, this was a significant loss for the city of Lafayette, as the company employs a hundred and fifty people.
I'm impressed with how far my cousin has climbed the corporate ladder over a nearly forty year span in insurance, but I certainly don't envy how difficult it must have been for him to tell his employees about the move to Ohio. Many of you West Enders will remember Jerry from his high school years in Louisville and from his talent as a musician in several well known Louisville bands. Continued good fortune to Jerry and his company with the move to Cincy.
You can see a clip of the announcement, carried by a local Lafayette television station, at the link below:
