Foster Goodrich Memorial

In 1971 the Sales Division of Stanley Home Products dedicated a boulder with an engraved plaque to Foster (Fos) Goodrich. The boulder was taken from the bed of a stream which flows through the Goodrich farm in Cambridge, New York. This was special to Fos because he was born and raised in Cambridge.Fos worked his way up the ladder at Stanley Home Products to the rank of President. The plaque reads ”This area of solitude and beauty is dedicated to Foster E. Goodrich, Chairman of the Board, Stanley Home Products, Inc., in recognition of his progressive leadership and his devotion to the Stanley Ideals.” This memorial was originally dedicated and located at the Stanley Home Products office building on Western Avenue, which is presently occupied by Westfield State University. The memorial was moved to Stanley Park and is now nestled amongst the pine trees overlooking the smaller section of the Duck Ponds.

Walk of Success

Stanley Home Products Associates

Walkway of Success

Along the flagstone walkway lining the Acre Lawn are the names of the top associates of the sales team for Stanley Home Products, Inc. These individuals gained recognition by having their name engraved in the bricks along the walkway. The area is appropriate as the annual sales meetings were held in the Beveridge Pavilion, next to the Acre Lawn. These meetings were known as Pilgrimages. It was a time to review how the company was doing, names of the year’s top associates, a picnic was provided and more. (The year that the Walkway of Success came about is unknown).
