Re: Aaron Feuerstein of, Malden Mills.
Yes, I have seen the profile of Aaron Feuerstein and he is a true "mensch" and corporate hero. His company, Malden Mills, invented Polartec fleece, a great and innovative insulating fabric. Feuerstein made headlines when, after his factory was destroyed by fire, he continued to pay his employees salaries and health benefits until the factory was rebuilt. Yes, he rebuilt the factory, rather than move his operations overseas. The sad footnote to Malden Mills is that is has since declared bankruptcy. I try to support the company by buying Polartec fleece, which also is the best fleece there is, IMO.
