Being the son and grandson (and nephew, and cousin) of a Kodak family, I had thought about posting my thoughts on EK’s bankruptcy filing last night. However, Patrice Walsh over at Channel 13 did better than I ever could in this article posted today. I think a lot of us in Rochester can relate to the memories she’s talking about.
I have very fond memories of my time as a college student working in Buildings 326 and 313 in Kodak Park. I was and still am proud to say I worked there.
Hopefully as time passes we can look back on today not as the end for a once-great company, but as the beginning of a great comeback story. It has been done before. Take for example a small computer company called Apple.
