One of my old bosses went to Honeywell to work on the ring laser gyroscope back in the mid 1970's.

He was a very good physicist and a good friend.

He is now in his 80's, slowing down, but still going.

Like a blast from the past. I was in the R&D group at Litton Guidance and Control Systems in the mid 1970’s when our instrument group was developing RLGs.
