GPO Employee Celebrates 45 Years of Service

The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO), the country's largest in-plant, boasts some loyal employees. One of them, Production Manager John Crawford, just achieved 45 years of service to GPO and the federal government.

GPO reports that Crawford began his career there in 1966 as a journeyperson bookbinder on the night shift. Forty-five years later, Crawford has been promoted seven times and works as production manager overseeing the production of some of America's most important documents, including the President's Budget, The Congressional Record, The Federal Register, The Code of Federal Regulations and legislative bills, hearings and reports. Throughout his years of service, Crawford has worked on secure projects, including the implementation of the electronic passport, and contributed to the agency's transition into the digital age.
