Great! Don't you just love it when your elders keep going strong and
don't fade into non-existence at retirement? My father (10 years
older than yours) plays a dulcimer in a hillbilly band ;-)

Oh, yeah? Well, my great-grandfather Culver founded Culver city and invented
the original hand-crank can-opener. Too bad he didn't leave any of that city to
me....

And I travel to the Safeway in Damascus (or as is sometimes mispronounced by
kids as "Damn Ass Cuss"), sometimes, living as I do on Sunshine Valley Rd
towards Boring. Now, that's two great city names in Oregon, for you!

Oh, yeah? Well my brother is one of the most famous magicians amongst
magicians. Unknown to the general public, but often invited to royal
parties. Not available to the US anymore, he's not willing to travel
to that place, under the current situation.

Damascus doesn't have a post office, so our mailing address was "Boring
OR". It didn't take me long once I hit college to learn that when asked
where I was from I should answer "Boring" to the US citizens and
"Damascus" to the middle easterners. Almost always good for a double take.

hehe. I used to teach at PSU for a time as an adjunct prof for a time, but I
was actually born in Portland and lived my early life in Tigard (1800 pop., when
I moved there) and Beaverton areas (old airport, now gone) and also for a number
of years on a 19 acre filbert farm in Orchards, WA. (My dad is buried over
there.)

I've been here now for two years and am very, very pleased with the people
around here. Nice folks and very kind. I can also hardly escape a store
without us sharing our lives and events with the checker, too. ;) Only
exception has been a time when I sat in and listened to a judge here and she
scares the daylights out of me -- I watched what appeared to me to be a careless
and downright capricious decision making -- completely unsupportable on the
facts I listened to (and I heard the entire presentation in court.) That
worries me, should I ever find myself there. But then, that was an isolated
experience for me. But I've also watched a great many cases in Multnomah and
Washington Counties without seeing anything like it, too. So I haven't put it
into a context quite yet.

I sent Haakon Riiser some soldering iron tips he couldn't get in

Erm... excuse me. I came the closest to the correct gain answer. And

Why bother? NO ONE even had a clue as to how to attack the problem.
Erm... excuse me. I came the closest to the correct gain answer. And
remember, all you asked was how to do it without using beta, which I
had to use to get as far as I did.
So let me reinterate that your time's not wasted on me.

NO! *NO* political crap is OK! That's not what this NG is about! Do
the poilitical crap on the appropriate NG, whatever that might be.
Don't stray off topic.

Sheesh, I'm sure glad the elections are over. As for the 'leftist'
comment above, anyone who says that has got an "Us versus Them" attitude
problem - just as much so as Mr. RSW. I'm not a young kid, and neither
are you. And as responsible adults, there's no need for us to go around
poking at such hornets' nests as religion and politics.

I agree, priests and politicians too often have split personalities.

But if normal people, like you and I, avoid having anything to do with them
it leads to a very secluded and miserable life. One may just as well take
heroin or be dead.

He and I worked at 'TMC Systems' for several years. He moved to the Microwave
company later. It was in the same building which "Dynamic Systems Electronics"
had built a few years earlier. I also worked for them as a start up company.

Bob Traynor was one of the most brilliant people I knew. Yes, He died at the
age of 54, like his father. He was playing Soccer with his son and had a heart
attack when they got home. I had dinner with him about two months earlier. I
still miss the discussions we used to have. I named him as Co -Inventor on the
one patent I went after. He was a great help getting all the t's crossed and

It's a small world isn't it?

I can't recall the name of the company now, but I consulted on a
number of projects, linearizing the control curve on some VCOs and I
designed a few substrate heaters.

Bob Traynor was my contact within the company. I'll have to dig thru
my paper archives and see what I can find.

I did the heart attack thingy when I was 58, but I survived with no
heart muscle damage because I beat it to the emergency room when I
realized that something wasn't quite right... had the attack with a
whole crew of doctors standing by, who immediately administered a clot
buster. Then a few days later they placed a stent (LAD).

Your mention of "patent" reminds me that it was my patent attorney,
Joe Roediger, who told me of Bob's death.

Proof positive that the "good die Young" I guess.

One of his patents was a zero offset amplifier IC. It was a great improvement
over one of the circuits I used at TMC. I hope my attempt started him
thinking. Always nice to repay a favor. He supported me on my patent. I
would imagine he retained Joe Roediger for his patent work. He and I were
working on a modem for high data rates through a voice width channel when he
died. The project died with him, and his 2nd wife threw all his work away.
Since he was doing the receive end, I was out of luck.

His heart attack was at home in the shower, by the time the paramedics arrived
it was too late to do much. They transported him to the hospital and he died
shortly after. I suspect his was a "Coronary Thromboses."

Bob was a workaholic, and his second wife liked me coming to visit because I
would bring a girl friend and take them out for dinner and dancing for pay back
for her feeding me lunches. He finally took the hint and they began to go out
more often.

I actually miss the guy. I've lost so many friends due to death and the bad
