Pinning and Tone

[Mary Smith]

Fred,

Was it John Merrick, by any chance? He is a machinist by training, 
and helped Michael Mohr with all the retooling. I met him last fall 
when I was up there, and he is a rotund, jolly, and all together 
competent fellow that impressed the hell out of me, too. I told him 
he was a walking, talking advertisement for S&S's recommitment to 
quality. Great person.
