In your travels within the company in your neck of the woods, have you by any chance run into a tech named Dave Michalak? Hasn't been Siemens all that long. Came from Honeywell.
Also, any chance you would know Muriel and Jerry Oxer (husband and wife) that used to live in Charlotte, but retired to Hendersonville, NC?
I have heard that with at most 5 intervening people one can connect any two individuals on earth. Just trying it with one. :)
