Business Quest

Welcome to everyday adventures in my business life, including thoughts and feelings about a world within which all things are connected. This QUEST is a JOURNEY to share knowledge, a JUNKET to share enjoyment, and often times simply an OUTING among old friends and new acquaintances.

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Hockessin, Delaware, United States

To Myers-Briggs I'm an INTJ on the cusp of an E. A war-orphan, I was raised an only child by my mother. Born into a family of engineers and inventors, I naturally gravitated to engineering; model railroading at age 5. By the time I left high school the railroad was well automated (back when mechanical relays and vacuum tubes prevailed.) Home was Gary, Indiana and while attending Purdue University I majored in Electrical Engineering, worked part-time and summers as a motor inspector at the Inland Steel 80" Hot Strip, where I found the air conditioning requirement of early automation equipment to be personally beneficial. I joined the DuPont Corporation as a Design Engineer and moved to Waynesboro, VA. (where in 1969 I automated the 1929 Acetate Chemical process using a Digital Equipment PDP 8E computer supervising five PDP14 industrial controllers -- the computer was programmed using a Teletype machine and paper tape!) I also had the pleasure of an assignment in Londonderry NI in 1973 followed by a move to Charleston, SC in 1976 to construct a fully automated polyester fiber facility (complete with industrial robots). But enough about me...

Opportunity to Introduce Yourself to Local Businesses

The "4th Annual Joint Chamber Tabletop Networking Mixer" will be held 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Tuesday, October 11th at the Bank One Center on the Wilmington Riverfront (includes complimentary Hors d'Oeuvres).

Non-member tickets to the event are $20 but as an exhibitor I have a VERY LIMITED number of complementary tickets that I will offer on a FIRST RESPONSE BASIS to students of BUAD 477 who are interested in attending the event. All you do to earn a ticket is be among the first to COMMENT WITH A RESPONSE & TICKET REQUEST to my September 30th "Project Discussion Feedback" post.

There will be 180 local businesses who are exhibitors, so this may be an opportunity to introduce yourself to folks who are hiring graduates. American SecuriComm will be giving a live demonstration of CCTV at our booth so this also presents an opportunity to meet Andrew and to see our surveillance offerings.
