Certainly an Unworthy Replacement!

Posted by dlucier at Thursday, Jan-05-2006 08:17 AM

In 1977, I was hired by Joe Markey to work at the FEDC. As I recall, Walt had indicated to Joe that he wanted to "move on." I was certainly NOT a worthy replacement for Walt. If you go to the FEP Group Photos you'll see us all in the group shot of instructors.

As expected, I was not a very good steam turbine instructor (only 4 years at MDTD-Fitchburg in the Assembly, Pipe & Test group as the Test Engineer). Markey yanked me out to teach "mostly" gas turbines. I also taught BFP steam turbines, particularly in the MHC school. I be Joe wished he had Walt back again! Dave Lucier (FEP-1968)
