September 2014

Dear Electronics Colleague:

Every area has its own eclectic mini festivals. Recently we traveled through Manitowac, WI to see the Sputnik festival commemorating the Soviet spacecraft dropping out of the sky. (see more). We raced Sputnik roadsters and got our picture taken as the (2) policemen that initially found the hot metal object on the street!

Our public speaking and teaching schedule is filling up for the fall, including the following events:
