Former Heath VP resume

[Brian Wood]

Hi Gang,

I was web-surfing trying to find info on Malmstadt-Enke (just wondered where
Heath got that stuff and wondered if they're still around), and ran across
former Heath VP Charles Gilmore's resume. If you're interested, the URL is
http://www.groupgilmore.com/cgilmore-cv.pdf. There's some interesting Heath
info in there.

He lists his call as W8IAI, which is still active. He'd be 60 right now.

He lasted a long time at Heath. Would be interested in any comments from the
former Heath company employees on this list as to their opinion of Mr.
Gilmore, privately if you wish.

73,

Brian, W0DZ
