    IIRC Craig was a sales rep replacement for Bill after he had some kind of health issue...
    Lee and Wes were the go-to guys for info on the old APC and LB series counters
    Oh yea, how could I forget Perry. He still comes around to work on our APEX stuff (which you probably "grew")

    I worked with Bill the whole time I was there, he took me up for my first flight in a Cessna. I've never met Criag. I don't think I met Perry either. He may be from Canberra.
    I left there in 99 and moved to a manufacturing plant for consumer appliances. Worked there for 9 years, then they up and moved to Mexico. I got out 3 months before they moved.

Probably my most useful skills come from my hobbies of fly fishing, my horses and buckskinning (pre-1840 fur trade re-enactment). I can tan leather using several methods, I've made black powder that actually works in my muzzleloaders, I have the equipment to sew leather and cloth, including a Singer treadle sewing machine, I garden, make mead and hard cider, can vegetables and meat and I'm a reasonably good hunter. My trapping skills need honing but I am already pretty good at setting small game snares. Drawbacks are I smoke and chew and (I really hate owning up to this) I'm pushing 60 real hard; I've had a number of broken bones from the horses over the years, and my eyesight is not what it once was. In a tribal situation I'd probably be one of the elders passing on skills to the young. I can, however still hit what I aim out out to about 500 yds. Beyond that it's iffy.

    Grumpy, I'd take you in and attach to base camp and just set around and listen to your stories (with a little mead of course)
    Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
