291/365 - CE belt buckle


Paul has worn this belt buckle since 1980. He got it on a business trip to Dallas, Tx working for Combustion Engineering. He saw an employee wearing one like it at a business meeting and told him he liked his belt buckle. The regional director disappeared for a few minutes and when he came back he tossed the belt buckle across the table to Paul. He has worn it ever since. Today he retired it, and I thought it's story deserved to be told.

P.S. When I asked him why he decided to stop wearing it, I thought the answer would be more memorable. He just said, "It adds too much weight to my shorts."

I currently work for what used to be CE. The company is now known as Alstom. I loved the story of visiting TX and coming home with a new treasure. I am interested in purchasing the belt buckle if it is for sale.

Thank you
