Local “Pirate” Steals the Show in Lawton
Over 110 children attended the children’s holiday party in
Lawton, OK this year—an annual tradition for Techrizon employees
and their families. Many employees volunteered their time to run
games, serve food and hand out prizes at the party. Aside from an
appearance by Santa, employee Judson Troop’s treasure hunt was
the main attraction for the attendees. Judson works as a training
specialist in the Training Development section in Lawton.
Judson’s display started out as a small booth for the children’s party
several years ago, sparked by his personal interest in pirate folklore.
Over the years, Judson’s booth has turned into an elaborate display
of treasure maps and bones where children dig for hidden treasures,
claim their prize and even walk the plank before getting sprayed with
silly string. Currently, Judson is working on a children’s book about

to see Mars at its closest. He also captured the Messier Catalog
objects as well as Saturn’s opposition—an event that occurs when
the sun is on one side of Earth and Saturn is directly on the opposite
side. The result is that Saturn is fully illuminated by the sun and

Bring on the Heat
The Stanley Heat pose for a team photo with their new uniforms Employee Faith Harbiston swings hard at a team practice in Charleston
Twenty-five employees from our Charleston, SC, Corporate Production Center banded together to form the Stanley Heat, a company-sponsored
softball team. According to Coach Randy Thompson, “It’s really good to see everyone getting some exercise while having fun. The biggest
challenge is teaching some of the people who have never played before the fundamentals of the game.”
Many employees enjoy the practices and games as stress relief and a great way to relax with coworkers outside of their typical work environment.
In early March, the Stanley Heat held a scrimmage with another local team—the Outsiders—to assess areas of strength and weakness.
“Our batting improved significantly the second time up to bat,” said Joe Robinson from Logistics. The Stanley Heat had their first game on
March 30 at the local Hanahan softball fields.
