<div>Hi, Pat,</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>You probably remember Arch Luther? Started with RCA designing circuits in the early 50's... had a hand in the TK-40 and 41, TSG-1 and then went on to supervise the TR-22 and TR-70 development, among other things.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>He's been retired from RCA for a while... and is currently living in Jenner, along the Russian River north of San Francisco. He's just turned 80... and is active in woodworking with redwood trees he has on his property.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>He's authored <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books&field-author=Arch%2520C.%2520Luther&page=1">a number of video engineering related books</a>, into the late 90's and is currently writing his memoirs... with a couple of chapters about his years at RCA.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>He thinks the website is a good start, and may contribute some material.
