This past weekend, two of my key engineers were at your facility working a highly visible and critical program for Northrop Grumman, the ATFLIR program supporting the FA-18s. I wanted to pass along my sincerest thanks to you for arranging support at your facility, and most particularly to the two gentlemen, Dan Gordon and Bernie Cameron, who worked with us on Friday, October 13th and Saturday, October 14th. Without their professional assistance and support, we could not have managed to achieve all that we did in such a short time or on such short notice. Both should be commended for providing top notch level of support. I have been told by both Northrop Grumman engineers who were at your facility that Dan and Bernie gave 110% effort. Please express to each our thanks, not only for their support, but for giving up a part of their personal time on our behalf.

Lorrie Gampp, ATFLIR 1550 Program Manager, Northrop Grumman

I would like to express my appreciation for the support I received from your organization on our latest round of testing last week of the APR-39A Receiver Assemblies. I would especially like to thank your technical staff, particularly Dan and Bernie, for successful test profiling and after-hour support on a holiday weekend. Timely completion of the testing sequence represented approximately 400K in end of year sales for our Littleton Operation. Thanks again and I look forward to future programs with your organization.
