Kirt, I loved your factoid on the trips to the areospace
labs at UM. I was a student there in the 1970s -
about the time you were roaming. Now I have someone
to blame my less-than-successful lab assignments
on
.
It really brought back memories.
I've worked
for NASA as an electrical engineer for almost 30
years now, mostly at Langley. You would have loved
working here. It's like a kid in a candy shop. We've
had upand down times, but overall a really great
career. My bad back will force me to take early
retirement. It's great to have a site like RF Cafe
to visit on a daily basis for a perfect mix of technical
content and humor/personal interest. I can really
relate to all the Estes rockets you flew way back
when.
Well, buddy, take care, and keep up
the great work! Maybe we'll meet af a flying event
some day - I'll look for an RF Cafe T-shirt!
