Bryant celebrates 25 years in Smithfield with President Ronald K. Machtley's inauguration, the theme being " A Silver Anniversary ... A Golden Opportunity."
A new Bryant logo is unveiled, "Expanding the World of Opportunity." The pillars holding up a globe represent strength and tradition, the globe - international diversity, the glistening streak of the spinning globe - decisive action.
