[time-nuts] Why the fuss - GPS Interference...

[Tom Curlee]

I've also had some odd dealings with Rich Bailey.  Some time in the mid 1990's I was a contractor at a USN cal lab.  We had sent out a Datum time code generator for repair, and when it came back, one of the functions didn't work.  I called Datum and after describing the problem, the tech support guy remembered that there had been a software upgrade, one that, for some unknown reason, had removed the function we needed.  He promptly sent me a set of PROMs that had the previous software version and all was well.  

Skip ahead 6 or 8 years, and I was at a family function and got to talking to my cousins husband.  He vaguely mentioned that he worked for a company that 'made very accurate clocks'.  For some reason, I blurted out "do you work for Datum?"  He was shocked that I knew who, and what, they were.  We got to comparing notes, and, yep, same Rich Bailey that sent me the PROMs.  I agree, he really is a nice guy.  Last I heard, he was the sales manager for FEI-Zyfer.

Yes, Rob, It was Rich Bailey. A good guy! He worked for DATUM in 
Anaheim, CA and as I recall, he lived in Riverside. I noticed that he 
didn't wear a watch and when I jokingly commented about it, 
considering what he did for a living, he told me that he had been so 
aware of precise time for so many years that he got tired of knowing 
precisely what time it was. We had fun together that day.
