The Feb. 18 event will feature:
Shena McAuliffe, assistant professor, the author of a novel,
“I went over to meet her, and I couldn’t hear a word she said, but she seemed nice!” Those words, or variations of such, resounded like a jukebox favorite at Ginny’s Little Longhorn. As owner and proprietor 1993-2013, Ginny Taylor Kalmbach, who passed away on Wed., Dec. 30, 2020, rarely spoke above a few decibels. Ginny’s regulars circa 2002-2003, cheers: (l-r) Terry Gaona, Steph Swope, Will White, Ginny Kalmbach, Roger Wallace, Satomi Chiba Neil, Shannon Johnston, Keith Crippen (Photo by Cynthia Coffey)
Ginny wasn’t unfriendly or shy. She was funny, generous, kind, and many other things to many other people. One thing she definitely was at Ginny’s Little Longhorn: in charge. Ginny didn’t speak loud because she didn’t have to. That, and she wasn’t the type to shout – even over the din of a Saturday night honky-tonk band at full throttle.

Jim McCord joined Soft Tech this month as business development manager, based out of Pennsylvania.
McCord began his career in the building materials industry right after graduating college. During this time, he gravitated towards the fenestration industry, selling well-known “Lumberyard” channel industry names such as Andersen, Marvin, and Loewen.
In 2007, McCord made the switch to manufacturing when he accepted a territory sales manager position with Simonton Windows & Doors. Working his way up to regional manager, Northeast, with Cornerstone Building Brands, he oversaw a team of eight with responsibility for both the Simonton and Atrium brands.
Coming from a manufacturer environment, McCord feels his knowledge and understanding of that side of the industry will be instrumental for his business development role at Soft Tech.
