I'm not sure why I finally decided to start publishing in 1988. Perhaps it was because at one employer I was part of a team that did some really good stuff and no one knew about it, and not because it was classified. Perhaps it was because my brain chemistry was changing with age. Tom was the one who suggested that I try it out, to which I replied that it was a silly exercise, especially for someone with no MS or PHD. Plus I had written dozens of CDRLs with my previous employer, and publishing as he suggested really seemed superficial. Tom quietly and patently suggested that the mumbo jumbo makes no difference. What matters is that you have something on your resume that will provide you with an edge. That did not convince me either, but when he also said it will allow me to tolerate the somewhat strange work situation that we were both in at the time, I started to listen. Publishing would allow me to continue to do what comes naturally, which is engineer, and also publically identify that occasionally, I could have good ideals. Sounds like the right Ego button was pressed. These things (papers) are really pompous, but they were published. Since then, when there have been times that I have been uncertain of my convictions, I would think of those things and figure, someone at one time thought that I must have good things to say. So they have helped me in a way that I never thought they originally would help. They have been there to support my Ego. Whenever strange things would surface in the workplace, like some nasty person saying, "you don't know anything about that", I always had the choice, since 1988 to reply, "well I may not, but the paper I had published at blank blank blank Conference, addressed that very issue". I have never used that option. It was always enough for me to know that some of what I had done in the past, both published and unpublished, is in the library of congress. Published
