When I started with my civilian position in Air Force propulsion engineering, I was taken underwing by a grey beard named Pat.

Grey beard is a term for an expert in the field that has many years of experience.

Pat was the first to sit down with me and teach me GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing). This is a standard used for engineering drawings.

He sat with me only on a few occasions. However, I think of him to this day when I see any part drawing.

It takes just a few minutes of your time to make an impression on someone’s life that they will remember forever.

Thank you very much for your time Pat, I will never forget it.
