ChaIRmaN’S CORNER & LOCaTIONS ...............................14 “Today, as an

organization, McNICHOLS

has grown beyond a small family business, while the essence and spirit of its founder remain ever present.”

What is “The Hole Story”?Bob McNichols started McNICHOLS CO. on May 1, 1952, with his wife Phyllis.

With holes in all the products he carried, Bob trademarked “The Hole Story.” The trademark was first advertised in the 1975 McNICHOLS Master Catalog and began a legacy of hole references to products (Hole Products) and personnel (The Hole Team).

After the unexpected loss of Bob McNichols in 1981, his son Gene took over the

leadership role at McNICHOLS. Gene carried on his father’s legacy to transition the company and ready it for the future.

In 1990, Gene made McNICHOLS’ mission “Service, Quality and Performance.” These three words embody the spirit of the organization: Service to customers; unfailing Quality that is challenged and measured through ISO 9001:2008 certification; and Performance that surpasses expectations for customers and provides a secure, fulfilling career for all Hole Team members.

As McNICHOLS celebrates its 61st Anniversary this year, the third generation of the McNichols family – with Scott McNichols as president – is already making its mark as stewards of the legacy passed on by their father and grandfather.

Today, as an organization, McNICHOLS has grown beyond a small family business, while the essence and spirit of its founder remain ever present.

Service, Quality and Performance... that’s The Hole Story®!

Only Survivor of a Nine-Man CrewOctober 1944. World War II. Nine soldiers left for a mission, only one survived. Bob McNichols’ Inspirational Story of Survival.

FOUNDER’S hOLE STORY

What is “The Hole Story”?

Back in the days when Allied bombers were slowly beating Germany to death, a jubilant crew

of a Flying Fortress took the air one early morning, bound for Berlin for the first time.

Only one member of the crew got there. Six were killed, and two were reported missing when the big bomber was shot down in flames with its mission almost completed.

The only known survivor was Lieutenant Robert L. McNichols, Cleveland Heights, Ohio, who came home after months in a Nazi prison camp to tell the poignant story of his Fortress’ last flight and his escape from death.

As reported by the news in 1945, Bob was still trying to figure out why he was alive. He does not remember much about that sunny morning of October 6, 1944, when the ship was pounced on by a huge flight of German planes.

He lost consciousness when he tore off his oxygen mask to help a wounded comrade, and the next thing he recalled was lying on the ground looking into the muzzle of a shotgun held by a German farmer.

“I was out cold,” he said, “and have no idea how I got out of the ship or down to earth. I don’t remember pulling a rip cord, landing, or anything.”

He recalled the thrill the entire crew got when they first saw a smoking Berlin in the distance 30 miles away. He remembered opening the bomb doors and concentrating on the approaching target.

As the plane’s bombardier, he was alone in the nose of the craft when the Nazi fighters struck at 27,000 feet.

“I didn’t even know we were hit,” he said, “until I heard the bail-out bell. We must have gotten it in the wings. When I heard the bell, I released the bombs and rushed back into the body of the ship. Our navigator was lying in a passageway, badly wounded. I had to take off my oxygen mask to try to help him. As I bent

over I collapsed, the air was too thin to breathe. That’s all I know. That’s the last I saw of any of the guys who were my pals.”

McNichols believes he was a swinging target for Nazi snipers as he drifted, unconscious, to earth in his parachute.

“My uniform,” he said, “was full of bullet holes when I came to. They must have peppered me on the way down, but I didn’t have a scratch.”

Due to the grace of God, Bob McNichols survived the crash that killed eight of the B-17’s nine-man crew.

Bob was confined in a Nazi prison camp for six months. On May 1, 1945, he and his fellow prisoners of war were liberated from Stalag Luft No. 1. His handwritten diary entry for that day expresses his excitement in the final hours before freedom:

“Slept in my clothes all night. The Germans left at 1 a.m., and we took control of the camp. Woke up at 5 a.m. and started breakfast. Russians are 14 to 15 miles from here… we are still wondering when we will get out of here! Around noon Russians reported… and some of the boys saw

infantry and tanks from the roof...picked up New York on the radio this evening…thinking of getting home has upset me…I’m getting mighty impatient! The Russian advance scouts reached here tonight at 10 p.m.! German radio announced Hitler’s death…had lights until midnight!”

After his release from the prison camp, Bob returned to America and was greeted by his wife, Phyllis, and his six-month-old daughter, Barbara.

During his experience, the 22-year-old lieutenant made a solemn vow, that if he came out of the war alive, he would put God first and make Him his partner.

In May of 1952, using this second chance God had given him, he started McNICHOLS CO. basing the company’s core values in his Christian faith and service.

Hole Solution:

The most noticeable trait is the home’s signature architectural feature, a wing-like metal sunshade made of McNICHOLS® aluminum bar grating. The bar grating wraps around the west

and south sides of the house where it helps cool the home. On the west side, it doubles as a functional deck with the addition of a handrail. On the south side, the bar grating serves as a catwalk for window and general maintenance needs. Permeable and non-corrosive, it is an integral part of the home’s rain water recycling system.

The material itself is green as it is manufactured partially from recycled aluminum. Along with being lightweight, and non-corrosive, it adds a contemporary look and supports the home’s self-contained cooling and water recycling system.

McNICHOLS supplied the bar grating in 20-foot panels weighing roughly 200 pounds each. The material was bolted to the cantilevered steel beams of the house. The deck, which extends eight feet, is strong enough to walk on; wide enough to shade the sun’s intensity into the first floor living room, kitchen and entryway; durable enough to withstand fire and wind, and permeable enough to aid water run off for recycling.

The home has a planted roof that can be accessed by exterior stairs also made of McNICHOLS® aluminum bar grating. Water from the roof and lot is collected and directed to a 4,000 gallon underground concrete reservoir beneath the driveway. The reservoir is covered by a strong trench grate furnished by McNICHOLS that is sturdy enough to allow for car parking.

Perched in the Oakland Hills on a double-sized 13,000 sq. ft. multi-layer lot overlooking San Francisco Bay, the award-winning Margarido House exemplifies outstanding, sustainable design. Over 4,600 sq. ft. on two levels, the five-bedroom, five-bath masterpiece features designer finishes throughout, and an open floor plan that takes full advantage of the breathtaking views.

The Margarido House, a symbol of high design, high sustainability, and community collaboration, earned LEED-H Platinum certification. Over 6,000 designers, architects, builders and homeowners have toured the home to learn about sustainable design.

Hole Solution:

In an attempt to create a pedestrian-friendly street with a focus on incorporating public art, approximately $1.2 million was invested in a downtown Tampa corridor spanning three city blocks. One street was chosen as the “Promenade of the Arts” for its tangency to the new arts

facilities and links to Tampa’s urban core.

Susan Gott, commissioned by the City of Tampa, working with Graham-Booth Landscape Architecture, designed and created glass art as part of the streetscape renovation. Her artwork consists of multiple panels of cast glass tiles incorporated into vertical panels with a series of McNICHOLS ECO-mESh® panels. The large-scale cast glass panels (8 ½-foot tall) line the street as part of the Promenade of the Arts, offering glimpses of the city’s narrative embedded in glass.

with McNICHOLS® Perforated Metal

Hole Solution:

Faced with a daunting task, architect Walter Scott Perry of Ecotechdesign in Los Angeles found part of his answer in McNICHOLS® Designer perforated aluminum panels. He incorporated the

material into a metal exoskeleton that provided shading for the dwelling. The plan complemented the aesthetics of this modern-day cargo container home and dramatically decreased the solar heat gain on the structure.

Ecotechdesign worked with 44 West Construction of Topanga, CA, to complete the custom-built, 2,400-square-foot house that is made from corrugated steel shipping containers and incorporates a private residence and photography studio.

Perry utilized McNICHOLS® Designer perforated aluminum panels in 16 gauge with 3/16-inch round holes on a 1/4-inch staggered pattern, which were cut into 4- by 8-foot and 4- by 4-foot modules. The material covers 1,800 square feet over two roofs, as well as the south and west facing exterior walls of the living quarters.

“The idea was to create a home that was passively cooled using natural ventilation,” Perry explained. “The extra space between the skin and the exterior wall allows air to circulate around the home, creating more efficient cooling, and facilitating the cleaning of windows and general building maintenance.”

“Another advantage of the perforated metal is its partial transparency, which changed during the day based on the sun’s relative position,” Perry says. “During the late afternoon, it becomes more reflective due to the lower sun angle, thereby reducing glare. In the morning, it is more transparent from the inside and enhances the views out over the desert landscape.”

The peforated metal skin makes this home architecturally unique, as it integrates the various hybrid building components, creating a sophisticated and contemporary industrial aesthetic.

The fact that it was for breast cancer was something they would enjoy being a part of, but adding the mud degree of difficulty to their 5k experience was what they wanted! The 3.1 mile course had several obstacles, including a lot of mud crawls, wall climbs and a two-story rope wall to go up and over. “WE DID IT AND LOvED IT!” says Tammy. “We are already planning on next year.”

What is ISO and Why Does It Matter? ISO certification is important for us at McNICHOLS as an achievement of recognition from a respected international body. But it’s more than that: it’s important to us because it’s important to you, our customer, to receive the highest standard of customer satisfaction. That is why we incorporate its principles in all that we do.

ISO 9001:2008 is a global Quality Management Standard (QMS) created entirely with the interests of the customer in mind.

To achieve ISO certification, we have to follow a set of principles that “ensure a common-sense approach to the management of business activities to consistently achieve customer satisfaction.”

There are eight fundamental management principles that companies must demonstrate through intensive audits to earn ISO 9001:2008 certification:

1. Customer-focused practices2. Strong leadership3. Meaningful involvement of people4. Ensuring a process approach to quality and

customer service5. A systematic approach to management6. A factual approach to decision making7. Mutually beneficial supplier relations8. Continuous improvement

These principles form the basis for performance improvement and organizational excellence. Our ongoing commitment to these principles translates into our commitment to the customer. Achieving ISO certification means that we’ve been designated an authority at what we do — and how we do it. It’s all part of our continuous commitment to excellence — a commitment to the customer.
