As a linear designer I've read many articles written by and about Robert
Widlar. Most of my insight about the man has been from a technical perspective.
I'm very interested in hearing any stories that anyone might know and wishes
to share about the lighter (sometimes eccentric) side of Robert Widlar. These
stories can either be posted on the news network or sent to me through email.
Widlar was a fascinating individual and I don't imagine he will ever be for-
gotten.

Also, does anyone know what became of James Giles (linear engineer) formerly
of Fairchild then AMD ?
