I remember Ron! He was quite a character. And I remember festoon.

Was it he, or Bob Flandrena, that gave us the holiday poetical and phonetical treat:

    Tweeze Denied Beef Workers Isthmus

(Say it out loud fast, with a pause in the middle of "Workers", to get it).

I think I have it on paper somewhere, but no soft copy.

I don't know how many people remember Ron Hardin in the Columbus BTL location. He was one of the smartest guys I ever met. There are lot of Ron Hardin stories. One of his creations (as far as I know he authored it) was a program to create Memorandums For File -- technical memorandums. My tar tape scooped up festoon.
