Building
19. The Tektronix Metals and Plastics component manufacturing plant where super
dedicated individuals created ultra precision state of the art components. One of the
many buildings on the Tektronix campus. (Right next to the Beaverton Oregon
airstrip.)
Jack Murdoch and Howard
Vollum were two great talented and gifted men. For 24 years I was on
their "Committed to Excellence" Tektronix team and was one
of the many that were
privileged to work with and know them as "Jack" and "Howard".
Tektronix
high speed cathode-ray, ultra precision oscilloscopes achieved world wide
renown and spawned the birth
of the electronic, the information and the space ages.
Without super precision Tektronix oscilloscopes we would never have made it to the moon.

The Navion,
My
favorite airplane
Of
the many types of single engine aircraft that I have flown, the Navion, designed by North
American
Aviation in 1946, in my estimation, is the easiest to fly,
the safest and the best. It was designed and initially built by the
same people who designed and built the P51 Mustang.
Length,
Wing Span and Height are the same as the RAF Supermarine Spitfire.

For
12 years this was home Marlow's
36Delta Navion held 100 gallons of fuel to safely fly well over 1000 miles. For
25 years, in addition to being my own, I was 36Delta's "crew chief"

pm
Back down in the parking lot at Timberline Lodge after a
successful but difficult climb to the summit of Mt. Hood, Oregon
that began at 2 a.m. On this day I was the leader of a group of
four other climbers, all of whom were doctors from the State of
New York. |

University) and with her grampa and her Dad, Mike, and her mother, Heather, hiking a
mountain trail up on the Sisters at Chush Falls. This day we were lucky in
that Mike had a saw to cut up a tree that fell across our roadway near the trail
head. |

Heather and me with photographer Mike on the way up to the top of Black Crater.
From the trailhead
it's 2500 feet elevation gain up to the top
and 8 miles round trip.
Like
climbing up and down a curving and zigzagging ladder that's 1/2 mile high.

September 20th.
This morning I made a routine visit to see my doc.
With twinkling and smiling eyes he asked his usual, "How are you
today?" "Well, I sort of get out of breath and tired when
I walk." "Oh, where have you been walking?"
"Well, a couple of weeks or so ago I went to the top of Black
Crater and it seemed like I had to make a more than usual number of
breathing stops." "Oh, how far was
that and how much elevation gain did you do?" "8 miles and
2500 feet." I thought I'd have to call for "emergency" for the
doc, as unable to keep a straight face, he almost doubled over. When he recovered and resumed a
somewhat semblance of normalcy, he smiled and ha, ha, ha-- ha, ha, ha'ed,
"that's one I'll have to relate to my cohorts while at lunch
today, ha, ha, ha."
What
the heck. I
guess laughter is as good a medication as anything else he might
have prescribed. Ha--ha--ha--. Ha---ha---ha---.
