Designing a good product is not enough. You must design a manufacturable quantity matching reality at at time say six months to two-years out. Call it Sales, call it Marketing, intelligence from the stores about customers exact needs and requests is prized. Enter the totally class act transfer from Rod Argent’s; Bobby (a liberty of familiarization) Styles was awesome. He gave me my first lesson on the Prophet. He was notoriously precise; with detailed notebooks of commitments made in both directions. And he got a lot of respect in the company, because he moved the product.

First-Year Review or ‘Rave by Dave’

Stanley is able to cover many different projects while maintaining a high level of quality and letting little fall behind. He can adapt easily to manpower problems, and pick up new responsibilities. His tech manuals are top rate and recognized as such in the industry.
—Dave Smith

In retrospect, it’s true one doesn’t often earn leading status after one year OJT. As well, positioned as THE U.S. SYNTH OF CHOICE, I never thought it an option to reduce second rate stuff, and was never asked to. A lot of the work took too long, but that’s also because there was a lot of catch-up. Once documentation was integrated into the engineering process, speed on technical documents improved; and I was freed up to focus more on operation and ultimately, features.
