Awesome!

Here's a quote to remember  

Kevin, the day-to-day manager among the three, describes how they are pushing the company toward the paternalistic model of Japanese companies. "We will evolve the management styles and techniques that best serve the needs of the company," he says. "We're looking into things like a food co-op and a baby-sitting service for the employees. Eventually, I'd like to see us have a company pound -- you know, with a company store, school, housing."

We need to start a comprehensive list of these type of articles.

Definitely! I'm looking out for more, incl newspaper articles, etc. I've changed the title of this thread so it'll encompass more stuff as any of us find additional ones.

I've got Gary's copy of the February 1982 Inc., from one of the recent Collector's Trove auctions.  The actual article included photographs not included in the on-line links.  One is a full page picture of Gary and Brian Blume.  But there's also a smaller picture of Kevin Blume, looking a bit like Kyle MacLaughlin from Twin Peaks.  The caption:  "Kevin Blume stopped playing Dungeons & Dragons to play a game called buslness."  And that was exactly the problem, eh?
