Yeah, I wish I had met him in person; I am sure he was a great guy. A WWII vet, he had to be in his 90s when he went, considering it was pretty recently.

Speaking of RCA, a friend, he worked for my company and was let go when the pandemic struck, he is probably 85 now, and an RCA engineer from the TV division, he started his career there, has a bunch of patents.....he is going homeless now. He was living in a small apartment with his wife and two dogs, and now is being evicted.

A shame.....
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
