Engineering is also different from research.


I like what Albert Einstein said to a newspaper reporter:

"If we know what we were doing, we couldn't call it "research"."

I have a t-shirt with that and his picture on it....(c;

My ex-wife's aunt was his personal secretary for decades at Princeton. Her
house was full of "stuff" he gave her, awards, accolades, certificates,
honoraria, plaques, etc. She made sure he had socks on before anyone
important saw him....(c;

My work was pretty
damn solid and I enjoy arguing about how complex the fuel system is on
my boat more at this point in life.

Any more ham radio history show up, by the way? Any more contact with ARRL
or the others?

No, I'm sorry to say and I apologize for dropping the ball on further
research and contact. I bit off way more boat projects than I can
chew on this winter and chewing on anything began to become a big
problem shortly after Christmas (you probably saw my post above) which
has really sapped my energy. I hope to get back to finding out more
about my Grandfather's early radio experiments but I'm now facing for
paying for land storage and marina dock at the same time while not
sailing i(really, really, bad thing!) if I don't get an heroic mount
of work done in the next couple of months. And, I still feel like
****.

Ah, I see. I'm still really interested in his historic work. When you get
back into it, at some point, please keep me informed.

Thanks

I still think he was one of the earliest hams I know of to go on the air,
predating all the famous guys by years and years! Most interesting....(c;
