He lives in the greater Lowell area. In days gone by, he could have done this work himself, but at 85 years of age now, he needs to hire someone. He is an engineer, did this drawing himself and this is his description below.<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> (He was a field engineer for IBM for 30+ years, if you wanna talk shop; I remember going to work with him and seeing the room-sized computers. :-) ) </span></font></span></p>
