    “EX-bat” Given the latest news today, will we be able to keep the “BAT” – or, better yet, will we want to? I had 37 years at Motorola, the last 10 or so in iDEN when went from being a significant cash drain to the company to jumping into the black and being a [...]

My 32 years at Motorola was almost a life time but even with that I found that I could indeed start over. I stated out with Motorola as an electrical engineer in Plantation, Florida, and on and off spent most of my time there. It was great working for a growing company which was the [...]

Thirty-eight years in one corporation is almost unheard of today. Looking back I do not regret any of the time.
