Missed that question but I'm Gen X, that has swilved the
scoop lamps. Yea, from military... Imagine origional Golf war in prep to go to, the person that designed how we laid out our
cannon parts about it to mil. spec... suddenly became my platoon Sgt. He was idiot/jerk and doubt he learned real verses this plan he laid out for what's necessary to have in presentation. Just say, I was out of the GYSGT "Cotton Club" on the first day. Long story - I won, but more especially my gun crew won.
When in college, following a snail mail letteer to Robert
Altman, he at one
point tracked me down to my dorm room in reaching me following a lack of 3.5
Leko parts I needed for a show shipped. Here i was college kid tracked down to dorm room, and on the phone the owner of
Altman Stage lighting on the other end of the
line...
He and his staff was inventing the Shakesphere at that time and he thoroughly aplogized for not having shipped the parts I needed in time for a show. For Robert
Altman to take time to chat with a punk kid in college...
As impressive as at one
point getting a few miuntes directly with Fred Foster during my Wife and I visit to
ETC as per part of our vacation set up to visit
ETC home factory many years ago. Complete tour.. Back than before we had a child...
I grew up in a high school in the same town as the last
Hub electric location, and a brach of McMaster Carr. Never Knew that! My shop Manager was literally a draftsmen at
Hub at the time, whie I was in highschool and he living a few blocks from me. Got to know and meet the last owner of
Hub/Dimatronics/Major
etc. before he closed down shop other than for repairs he was the engineer for. He had a Grand child in the local college and in visit local to see was in visit. Fallen out of touch, miss his visits and contacts.
You pre-Gen X'
ers have a responsibility to pass on!
