Meeting an Old Friend?

Spoke to AR Engineering about radar and he recommended the 4.5' array. He said that discrimination was better with a larger array meaning that 2 objects close together would look like one using the smaller array but that they would be distinguishable as separate with the larger one. I told him that the literature called for a heading sensor to be installed and he was surprised but once I indicated that I was going to buy the sensor he offered the 4.5' array for the price of the 3.5'. That closed the deal and he estimates that Spring Garden will have the hardware within the week.

I met Vlad V, a Pfizer employee and one of the central characters in CCP, in the lobby. He said he had been laid off in August but recently found a new position back at Pfizer in CIG. I look forward to working together on ABR.

He was curious to know if I was still working with Thirst and when I told him no he made an oblique comment about Gary, the head of Sales, having sealed their fate. I'd like to find out one day where the bad blood came from.
