I liked him and ...I am sorry to hear about Howard. I liked him and liked working with him. He was central to the development of the unique sonar display capability developed in the early 70's in the Blue Room. The hardware supported cutting edge sonar display research and as an after thought lead to a Librascope credit on the movie "The Hunt for Red October".<br /><br />The story related by Bruce about the AN/BSY-2 system was probably his crowning achievement. With that success, Librascope had the personnel and knowledge to develop special purpose integrated circuits for industry. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the magnitude of the accomplishment was not appreciated at the corporate level and the opportunity to exploit the unique capability was squandered.<br /><br />Never-the-less, it was another state-of-the-art accomplishment Librascope can be proud to have made.<br /><br />Ray HandRay Handnoreply@blogger.com
