Gus Pearson

Gus Pearson began his long and successful career as a sales rep for Wurlitzer back in 1966. He remained with the company until 1981 and has often related his feelings that working for the company was like one big family. Employees would gather for holiday events, watch their children grow and help each other whenever it was needed. These strong feelings may explain why Gus and several others planned a remarkable reunion for the company employees some 20 years after the company closed. What seemed remarkable to outsiders was the 300-plus attendees that all knew each other and remembered fondly their days at Wurlitzer.
