[BC] Harris Corp. Seeks Cuts in Transmitter Business

[Douglas B. Pritchett]

You have a good point about what we are taught by our mentors. I know 
that I formed opinions in the same way you did.

RE: the Gates One, I know what you're talking about. But luckily the 
circus still operates  from Peru Indiana, not far away and we can always 
rent one of their midgets.

And the Collins catalog......
After we finished the rebuild, the Collins rep and some bid-wig (his 
boss?) did visit the facility. After the tour, the big-wig asked our 
Faculty advisor why Collins was not included in the bidding process, 
faculty advisor told him that Collins had declined. Gave him a copy of 
the "letter" all nice and neat on Collins stationary........... Must 
have been a long drive back to Dallas.
