I am in the process of being laid off and would like to find another
engineering position.  The following is a condensed version of my resume.
Please call or write if you need a creative, hands-on R&D
mechanical engineer.  Do not send computer mail or post on the bulletin boards
as my access to the Internet is very limited and I might not get it.

Thank you very much.
