Free the Saratoga Five!
Recent email to Dave Lucier:
I attended the Summer 1980 FEP session, under your utelage, of course. My claim to fame whilst attending the FEP was being thrown in the local holding pen in Ballston Spa with four other FEP guys for "public drinking" and making fun of the police officers on the streets of Saratoga Springs. We were sentenced to time served the next morning, scurried back to our apartments, put on ties and came into your office to plead for forgiveness since we had missed most of the days classes.
I stayed with GE for 6 years in the field, went to work for Baltimore G&E for 15 years and am now employed by ALSTOM as Director of Field Operations for GE and S/W equipment
Paul Nagle (FEP-1980)
We then returned to the Training Center and went to your classroom. Scribbled on the blackboard was an appropriate message: "FREE THE SARATOGA FIVE!"
We all had a good laugh, although I had to act a little pissed off just for show. I should have docked you all 1/2 day's pay but I didn't.
Regards, Dave Lucier, Manager, Field Engineering Program (1980-83)
