HB Gathered to Celebrate Mackey Barron's 90th Birthday
On February 19th, the staff at HB's headquarters in North Haven, CT gathered together to celebrate the founder of HB Communications, Mackey Barron's 90th Birthday
With a room full of employees, Mackey Barron made his triumphant entrance into one of HB's demo rooms and was greeted with a roaring applause and cheers. Mr. Barron blew out the candles on his birthday cake and spoke about how his mother reached the age of 98 and he's looking to beat her record!
CEO and son of Mackey, Dana Barron, spoke a few words about his father and offered a poem he wrote about "What a Difference Nine Decades Makes." After that, others spoke words about Mr. Barron and what a difference he has made in the audio visual industry and this company. During the celebration, a slideshow showing pictures of Barron and the history of HB through the years played, which included photos from when the building was on Audio Lane in New Haven, Mr. Barron's boat, and even his old office on Corporate Drive in North Haven.
HB is grateful to be led by a leader like Mackey Barron, who is a pioneer in the industry and a dedicated hard-working individual and looks forward to celebrating his 100th birthday in 2020.
