I will endorse Dave Horn's comment that Peter Walker of the Acoustic Manufact-
uring Co. (Quad) has an excellent reputation (is his name Walker? All I remember
is the company). During a period of more-than-usually obsequious sycophancy,
I asked Ray Dolby if there was anyone in the audio world whose commercial
style he admired in the same way that I found *his* approach admirable.

Without hesitation he mentioned Peter Walker[?] (we had already agreed on
Henry Kloss), but couldn't seem to think of anyone else (like Ike when asked
to list a single achievement of Richard Nixon as Veep, I'm sure if I'd given him
a week he'd have thought of one.)

As to why I found (still find) Ray Dolby a bird so rare in the commercial
audio aviary, if you have to ask...

			...I guess I'll have to expatiate, later.
