BABES/SBE LUNCHEON ON WEDNESDAY Nov 24TH
As usual, our luncheon will be at Sinbad's just south of the Ferry
Building on the Embarcadero near the foot of Mission St.. Please RSVP
to Carol Brahney at Zacks: 408-487-9302
(cbrahney@zackinc.com). We
meet at 11:30 and are seated at 12:30.
Steve Lampen of Belden Wire & Cable
will present a short history of wire and cable. Do you know when rubber
was first cured? (Wasn't at my HMO.) Do you know how recently most of
the available wire was made from steel instead of copper?
Gene Zastrow is the manager of Sutro Tower and has worked to bring the DTV transition to fruition. It has been a tedious task involving countless hours of meetings and hearings. Gene supervised the project planning and construction and worked with all the involved parties. It was a complex undertaking with an intricate timeline. Gene was equal to the task.
It was somewhat refreshing to learn that Gene's initial experiment with electricity occurred when he removed the wire supporting the ears of a cuddly rabbit and inserted same into an AC outlet.
We welcome Gene to the order of the Golden dud. The award consists of a gold plated 4CX5000 mounted on a trophy base.
