I went to work at Martin Marietta to run
the VHSIC wafer fab activity as part of its microelectronics center. My
director was Bill Bedsole. We were instrumental in manufacturing internal ICs
to be used by the company’s various programs.
Later on, upon the closing of the VHSIC
program, I went to work for Bill Holland as manager of the components
engineering group. As part of the electrical engineering department, we
supported all component qualification and certification for the company’s
Orlando and Ocala programs. We had an excellent group. Two teams reported to
me. One team was managed by Ray Darling, while the other was managed by Chester
Kennedy. What a fine and superb team of engineers, and I was very proud to
represent them. Our director, Bill Holland, was by far the finest engineer I
ever had the pleasure to work for. I miss those great days!
