Dave and Marylynn,

I first met "Mort" in 1967 at the Bueter Road facility when I started work at Magnavox. As a new employee, I was blessed to start my employment working under Mort who mentored me into the Magnavox work environment. Mort was a patient supervisor and was generous with his knowledge to educate an "newbie" in the trade. Mort was always free with great smiles and kind words. Of course he had an ornery side too! I have fond memories of my time working with Mort. May he rest in peace.
