I did eventually manage to get in contact with Mel, but I scared him away, unfortunately. That's a story for another day... :-/

- jacquesm 12y agoOh wow. Well consider this another day! That's amazing.
- jbf 12y agoI third Stratoscope's and jacquesm's request for that story. Also interesting to note: that picture you found is from his first month on the job, yes? The "Welcome" section at the bottom of the PDF claims he just joined in July in "Engineering--Commercial," and the text above the picture says that the three instructors pictured (Hazlett, Behr, Kaye) will transfer to Royal-McBee payroll "as announced in the July Librazette." The July edition claims Hazlett, Behr, and Fred Flannel are the engineers to be transferred.
- shutupalready 12y agoPlease do tell us about what he said! I did upvote, but that doesn't communicate our desire to hear the story. This is one of those rare situations where a "me too" post serves a legitimate purpose.
