3M Company (MMM)

[north40000]

Been here ourselves since basis of $70/share, but a not so smart non-move earlier---I worked for 3M in East St. Paul in the summers of 1959-1960 w/o buying any 3M shares with the rather extraordinary amount of $$$ paid me to work evenings and weekends[in addition to regular job] to translate scientific articles in the Russian language to English. At the time, as 3M's Central Research Director explained to me, they had no one else that could do that translation. Russian was the 1st language in which I passed the PH.D. language requirements at Princeton, having studied it as an undergraduate.
