Don Sweet, I remember the first time I heard Mr. Sweet's name. It had a ring to it. I never knew that he was a military man with an admirable career. But it is easy for me to imagine. He had wonderful leadership qualities and a way of presenting things that you understood and felt his passion. He was an excellent communicator and was always warm and considerate.
Celanese was my first look inside Corporate America, and I had the good fortune of meeting Mr. Sweet. I worked several levels down in the organization, an he knew me as just one of the many Employment Reps working for the Company. Yet, you knew, that when he was speaking to a group of us, it was personal. He knew you; and you knew him. That was the miracle of Don Sweet, he cared, and you felt it.
The World is richer; I am richer because he passed this way. I wished that I had told him that. I am sure there are many others who felt the same.
