COVER STORY July/August 2013 F E A T U R E S 10 Building a Legacy The Story Behind Caldarella's 14 75 and Over A Historical Nod to Some of Our Oldest Operating Companies 18 The Remarkable Man Who Founded FEDA Plus the Beginnings of the Food Service Equipment Industry Inc. 24 Where are We Now? In Sam's Own Words Why we pause:"Observing the day-today operations of the food service equipment industry makes me wonder how much those who look to the industry for their livelihood know about its early years. In school, we're taught the history of the United States; in church or synagogue we learned about religion. These stay with us always—but we do not apply the same teaching to industry, which is strange since we look to our jobs or business to supply our needs." FEDA Founder Sam Anoff Reaching the Century Mark It's about the ideas. Says MultiLing COO Lyle Ball, "I am more interested in 100-year ideas than in 100-year companies. As an entrepreneur, I strive to create ideas that have life in and of themselves, but that can be merged with other good ideas. As these ideas merge, both parties become stronger companies."
