I worked with Dan in Saudi during the construction of the Al Qunfudah station in Saudi, about 4 hours from Jeddah. I first met him while I was doing a resident engineer tour in Najran. We were on the roof of my villa and I was boasting; "Dan, see out there? Every light you can see out there comes from my turbines!" Of course just then the entire plant dumped and it was like an air raid drill - pitch desert dark... Dan said it looked real fine when I got the Frame 5 running again and they brought the city back up a feeder at a time...
Anyhow, he is most likely somewhere in California. I am in San Francisco myself...if anyone knows his where abouts give me a call at 925-768-7389 thanks, Harvey...

GREAT NEWS!
Rob Sigond (FEP-1978) saw **Joe Markey** and his lovely wife Barbara at the Proctor's presentation of "Phantom of the Opera." We are happy to report that Joe is no longer a "fantom figure." He still lives in Niskayuna, albiet not at his orginal residence during his FEDC days, which was then on Morrow Ave. He used to cross-country ski to work on occasion. Joe was manager of the mechanical program for 20 years (1966-1986) during the opening of the FEDC in 1974.
Another original FEP manager has been located. **Phil May** discovered Turbine Cowboy during a Google search. Phil has registered and may be contacted at mayphil@etex.net. He has been retired about 20 years too lives with his wife live in Texas in a log cabin he had built. Phil was the counterpart to Joe from 1968-1979, also when the FEDC was first built.

Dave,
Yup, I retired on May 1, 2000 so I'm coming up to 6 years of this unrestricted life. I still walk the streets of the area and run them at 4 in the morning; something I've been doing since 1984.
I spend roughly half of my time at a camp in NH with 37 acres of land and spend my time there doing useless things like chopping wood, clearing brush, shoveling snow or mowing the lawn, raising a garden, keeping the deer and raccoons out of the garden, using up space on my digital camera and sky gazing. I have an 8 inch reflector 'scope and am thinking of adding more equipment.
Retirement is a pleasure and I am enjoying it very much. You've done a great job with that Turbine Cowboy site; I enjoyed it.
After my stint in field engineering, I was the manager of the GETSCO-Rome, Italy office. I remember you traveling through Rome a few times and that gas fuel problem you had in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia at SAFCO.
Take it easy and enjoy life,
Roger Kiefer (field engineer in 1960s before FEP)
