Vern,
Thanks for your notes. I'm sorry I missing you during your last
days at Boeing. Hope retirement is serving you well. You've
had an impressive career! I'm even more impressed and envious of
how well you have it documented and presented. Over the few years
that we've communicated, I've been impressed by the tremendous level of
knowledge skills, and experience that you have amassed; you definitely
leave me humbled. I hope you continue to have the opportunity to
transcribe an autobiography of your experiences and your insight gained
from the good and bad of it all. The world has changed so much in
the communications industry and so much valuable knowledge, skill, and
wisdom is being lost as us
"younger" people try to carve out our careers. Those BSP's that
provided so
much detailed information seem to be disappearing as fast as the experienced
retirees leave and BOC's transition their work to outside contractors.
I'd
venture to say that few people starting a career nowadays could hope
to acquire a significant fraction of the experience and knowledge you have.
The wisdom you've gained and the "lessons learned" that you've acquired
from countless projects would be interesting reading.
